Sewer Utility Engineer Bob Elwell provided the staff report for the
Comprehensive Sewer Plan update. Mr. Elwell explained this update

after the staff report.
E. Comprehensive Water Plan (Fenhaus)
Water Utility Engineer Susan Fenhaus explained that the
Comprehensive Water System update Scope of Services has been
developed to assist the City with the 2015 update of its
Comprehensive Water System Plan. The last comprehensive update
was in 2009 and approved by the Washington State Department of
Health (DOH) in 2012. The DOH requires the plan to be submitted by
December of 2014. This will also be coordinated with the City's major
update to the Comprehensive Plan.

Drainage Plan update. The purpose of the 2014 Drainage Plan

Page 3 of 6
CA.A Page 6 of 335
Hazard Area Regulations, Chapter 15.68 ACC (Andersen)
Environmental Services Manager Chris Andersen briefed the
Committee regarding implementation of the 2010 Flood Hazard Area
regulations adopted to comply with the National Marine Fisheries
Service’s Biological Opinion issued for the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) in Western Washington.
Committee and staff discussed how the habitat study requirements
have affected some of the permitted projects and staff provided
options for potentially minimizing the cost and schedule impacts of
floodplain permitting requirements on applicants. Options presented
included revising the City's floodplain regulations, developing a
programmatic Habitat Assessment for all or a portion of the City’s
floodplain areas, or developing a “Habitat Assessment Application”
template that would allow applicants to provide information about their
project site that could be used to document the required habitat
assessment information. The template would assist the City in
obtaining the site condition information necessary to perform the
assessment and minimize the cost and schedule impacts while
fulfilling the requirements.
The Committee stated that they are supportive of the habitat
application template option. This option would still enable the City to
fulfill the Federal Emergency Management Agency, NFIP/Endangered
Species Act model ordinance requirements. Staff will explore this
option further and bring additional information back to the Committee.

thanks and appreciation for the efforts of those who were engaged in that war; and
WHEREAS, the City of Auburn acknowledges that many servicemen and
women returning from Vietnam were met with the hostility that accompanied the
anti-war sentiment that was prevalent in much of American society at the time; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate, particularly in light of Auburn’s participation in
the program celebrating the 50th Anniversary Commemoration of the Vietnam War

it as meeting the purposes and criteria for approval of Chapter 2.97 of the City Code
for placement of memorials in city parks, but also finds that the goals and purposes

than Veterans Memorial Park; and
WHEREAS, in order to accommodate the request of the American-
Vietnamese War Memorial Alliance for the Memorial and to support the many
people who have endorsed the proposal for the Memorial being located in Auburn, it
is appropriate that the Memorial be placed in a park other than Veterans Memorial

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Creation of a New Chapter to the City Code.
A new Chapter 2.97 of the Auburn City Code (ACC) be, and the same hereby is
created to read as follows:
Chapter 2.97
MONUMENTS TO BE LOCATED IN CITY PARKS
AND ON CITY PROPERTY
Sections
2.97.010 Purpose and introduction.
2.97020 Definitions.
2.97.030 Government speech on monuments.
2.97.040 Administration.
2.97 050 Donated and private funding of monuments.
2.97060 Review process.
2.97070 Review criteria.
2.97.080 Public right of way.
2.97.090 Other policies.
2.97.010 Purpose and introduction.
A. The City may, from time to time, decide to install permanent Monuments
on City property to provide the City's commemoration of persons or events of note, or to
otherwise convey the City's position on various topics ("referred to as "Government
Speech"). The City retains, in its sole discretion, the rights to control the message of
monuments in its City Parks and on its public property. An Application Form shall be
available from the City Clerk and from the Parks Department for use by private
individuals, groups and entities who wish to request placement of Monuments in City
Parks or on City property
B. By placing Monuments on City property, the City intends only to engage in
Government Speech and does not intend to open a public forum for free speech activity.
Ordinance No. 6480
September 23, 2013
Page 2 of 8
ACT.F Page 15 of 335
C The purpose of this Chapter is to establish criteria and guidelines for the
consideration and installation of Monuments on City-owned property deemed by the
City to be appropriate to serve as the site for a Monument. In doing so, the City
recognizes the following considerations.
1.Monuments can convey a powerful connection between Auburn and its
history, and in some instances its future.
2.It is therefore important that the placement of Monuments be limited to
circumstances of the highest community-wide importance, both to maintain the
significance of such Monuments and to minimize conflicts with the active and variable
use of public spaces.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may decide, in its sole discretion, to reject
a proposal for a Monument and/or may determine the appropriate site for any and all
City Monuments.
2.97.020 Definitions.
A. The following definitions apply to this Chapter:
1 Government Speech" means the speech of the City per the doctrine
addressed in Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of Univ. of Va., 515 U.S 819, 115
S.Ct. 2510, 132 L.Ed.2d 700 [1995] and cases relying thereon. Under this doctrine,
when the City retains the power to control the message conveyed, the statements and
expressive actions are Government Speech of the City even if it uses other persons or
entities to communicate its messages.
2. "Monument" means a marker, statue, or other similar permanent
structures and installations to express Government Speech, as described and
referenced in this Chapter, and which are installed by the City on City property, or which
are accepted by the City and installed on City property with City permission, and subject
to the following:
a) Monuments may be in various forms including statues, fountains,
buildings, or gardens among other forms of monuments as determined by the City.
b) Monuments do not include items dedicated in parks, such as benches,
trees, small plaques (plaques not larger than five (5) square feet in size), and other
memorials with a dollar value that does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00),
as determined by the estimated or anticipated cost of purchase or construction and
installation or placement; Provided, however, that if the monument requires a building
permit, it shall be included in the definition of monuments.
c) Monuments do not include memorial signs as defined in the City's
Memorial Sign Program (Chapter 12.68 ACC).
B. In the event that a question arises as to whether a proposal falls within the
scope of this Chapter or these definitions, or if a question arises as to how the proposal
falls within the scope hereof, the City Council shall have the sole discretion to decide
such questions and to make determinations relating thereto
2.97.030 Government speech on monuments.
A. City's Government Speech Topics. The City may install or accept City-
approved Monuments on City property as a form of "Government Speech" as City
Ordinance No. 6480
September 23, 2013
Page 3 of 8
ACT.F Page 16 of 335

by the City Council;
3. The history of Auburn, the State of Washington, or of the United States,
4.Historical or cultural influences on Auburn;
5 Native flora, fauna and wildlife of Auburn and the greater Auburn Area —

7 Other criteria selected by the City Council and set forth in an amendment
to this Chapter.
B. The City shall not place Monuments on City property which have the
purpose of promoting, favoring or inhibiting any religion or which would appear to a
reasonable person that the City is promoting, favoring, or opposing a religion.
2.97.040 Administration.
A. The Mayor may recommend to City Council the approval or denial of
monument proposals. The Mayor may enact administrative guidelines and procedures
to implement this Chapter, including procedures for consideration of locations deemed
amenable to Monuments. The Mayor shall also designate the Lead Department or
Departments for Monuments located on City property depending on the proposed
location of the Monument and the potential impact to City Departments.
B. Notwithstanding that certain City property is operated or managed by a
private operator pursuant to an agreement, the evaluator of the Monument and the final
decision maker shall be the City Council and not the private operator or manager
C The Director of the Lead Department shall coordinate with the Director of
Parks, Art and Recreation if there are any questions or issues as to whether a proposed
Monument is primarily Public Art, or whether it otherwise fits into the City's Public Art
programs.
2.97.050 Donated and private funding of monuments.
A. In accordance with Chapter 2.87 ACC, the City encourages private
donations to the City to support various City programs and City operations, which may
include without limitation, the cost of acquisition, installation and maintenance of
Monuments on City property. The City prefers to receive private donations in the form of
funds that may be used by the City to review, design, fabricate, acquire, install and/or
maintain Monuments, rather than the donation of a completed Monument.
B. However, the City may from time to time, at City's sole option, consider
accepting a completed Monument as a form of Government Speech, provided that the
Monument meets the City's approved Government Speech topics and also meets all of
the other criteria set forth in this Chapter and in any related administrative guidelines or
Ordinance No. 6480
September 23, 2013
Page 4 of 8
ACT.F Page 17 of 335
procedures. After City Council's acceptance of a Monument, which acceptance shall be
through an appropriate process approved by the City Council, and subject to City's
explicit approval of installation of the Monument upon City property, title to the
Monument shall vest with City and the City may remove, relocate and shall otherwise
have sole control over the Monument.
C. While the City appreciates donations of Monuments to the City, the City is
under no obligation to accept any donated Monument even if the Monument meets, or
could be said to meet, all of the criteria set forth in this Chapter. The City's decision to
accept a donated Monument may also depend upon the cost to the City of design,
fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument and site considerations,
among other factors.
D. The City may, at its option, decide for budgetary reasons to prioritize
Monuments where the City expects to receive donated funding to cover the cost of
design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument. Unless otherwise
agreed by City Council, the donor of a proposed Monument is responsible for providing
the City with funds to cover the cost of review, design, fabrication, installation and
maintenance to ensure adequate care for the Monument.
2.97.060 Review process.
A.The Mayor or his or her designee shall provide the initial screening of
Monument proposals to determine if the proposed Monument complies with the
provisions of this Chapter including without limitation, to evaluate the suitability of the
proposed Monument site, if any, so that a report and recommendation may be prepared
for the City Council in advance of its decision on the proposal. If the Mayor's decision is
to conduct further review of the proposal based upon considerations consistent with this
Chapter, the proposal shall be referred to the appropriate department, so the report and
recommendations to the Council can address the considerations and criteria of this
Chapter
B. The Lead Department shall prepare a report for consideration by the City
Council and such board or commission designated by the City Council, if any, and shall
coordinate with the Mayor and with other affected departments. The Lead Department
shall submit an advisory recommendation to the Mayor for the Mayor's review regarding
the Monument based upon the factors set forth in this Chapter and the Review Criteria
set forth below. After the Mayor's review, and amendments and modifications (if any)
the Mayor shall then forward the recommendation to the City Council.
C The City Council shall have final approval of a City project to design and
construct a Monument, or to accept a donated Monument.
D The Mayor shall, on at least a quarterly basis, submit a report to the City
Council informing the City Council of any and all Monument donations and application
proposals received by the City, and the Mayor's recommendations regarding each
proposal.
E. All required environmental review shall be approved by the City's planning
department before the City commits to installing a Monument. The Monument shall be
consistent with adopted City master plans unless those plans are amended as a part of
the review process.

applicable requirements for structures as set forth in the Auburn City Code.
6. Conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) to
ensure that there is a path that allows access to the monument.
7. Conform to the adopted building code to ensure that the footing and
monument are structurally adequate.
B. The City shall also consider whether:
1. The person, group or event being memorialized deemed by the City to
have made a significant enough contribution to merit a Monument of the scale, cost and
visibility of the proposed Monument.
2. The Monument duplicates existing Monument themes. Multiple
monuments for similar or related groups are disfavored.
3. The Monument proposal has been the subject of one or more public
meetings conducted by the Monument's proponents. The public meeting shall be
conducted in accordance with ACC Section 18 02.030.
4. The proposed Monument has the general support of the persons or
community that the Monument is intended to honor.
5 The proposed site in the park or plaza for the Monument is related to the
underlying purpose of the Monument or the site in the park or plaza has been
designated in a master plan or other approval of the City Council as a particularly
appropriate site for a proposed Monument.
6. The Monument has been designed by or under the direct supervision of a
qualified professional in the art or design field, and provides a quality, scale, and

articulated in adopted master plans or similar City documents.
7 There is a committed and verifiable funding source for the review, design,
fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument before proceeding to incur
City costs and staff time. The proponents of the Monument agree to enter into an
agreement to provide the City with funds that cover the cost of review, design,
fabrication and installation, and an adequate endowment to cover the cost of the
Monument's maintenance as determined by City. Alternatively, the City may consider
accepting an agreement from a group to maintain a Monument in perpetuity and in
accordance to City Standards rather than a cash endowment.
2.97.080 Public right of way.
The public right of way shall not be considered as a site for Monuments, except
as provided for in Chapter 12.68 ACC.
2.97.090 Other policies.

I am a Vietnam Veteran and I want to put in my thoughts as to wliy this memo
rial should be approved. I was an Army medic in Central and IVorthern Thailand from February 1969-June
1970:
I worked on military forces from several countries including the South Vietnamese Special Forces.
Every one was treated equally without regazd to where they were from. I never heard a bad tliing about the
South Vietriamese
troops from anyone that worked with and beside them. T'hey were fierce and loyal to the man and did their dury

They.interclicted with our Special Forces, CIA, and troops form other countries. They bled the same as our caeri,
died'as our men died and from what I heazd from others, fought as hard as anyone. We abandoned thesepeople
because of politics:
It is now time for politics to give backto these people who have,suffered at our governments hapd.
They could liave a country if our country hadn't given up on them. Now they ca11 America their country.
Let's suppoit this project.

My reason for contacting you is to tell you just how hard the South Viemamese Army fought alongside of the
US military and shedding their blood just as we did in combat and air assaults,their sacrifice of many South
VN Troops and wounded well fighting alongside of the US troops was outstanding and with devotion to the
U.S Military.:Those Vietnamese Troops who did manage to come to America and become US Citizens and a
part of this Country fought hard very hard to do so, and now to riun backs on us would be a terrific mistake.
when we ask for just a little to Honor our fallen heroes and U.S's heroes as well, as it was in battle in Vietnam.
Being a ground Com6at infantryman I fought side by side with the United States Army, without US Troops our
South V.N were occupied by North Viemamese Communistlongtime before South Viet Nam fall on the date
Apri130, 1975. Now you will get some American Vietnam Veterans who will disapprove of any honor given to

Subject:Joint etnam Memorial
Mayor.
Per your invitation to e-mail you to let you know my thoughts—our thoughts—regarding support for(or opposifion to) the
proposed Joint Vetnam Memorial—I wish tosend my thoughts to you. First of all, I want you W know that I am not writing
this as the Aubum 6ify Attomey, but as a citizen of the Aubum Community (I may not live within the city limits- I live just
ou4side the city 7imits — but I have an Aubum address and I consider Aubum to be my town). Also, I am writing tliis as a
vefiam Veteran.
I am including with this submittal a couple of e-mails I previously exchanged with Aubum VFW Post Commander Frank
Banister— most current on top — oldest below. I do not feel I should repeat what I already said, though if you have any
questions of ine, please let me know. Also, I am sending this to you and Councilmember Holman — as both of you
attended the dinner/celebretion on August 11th. But if you would find it helpful or worthwhile to send this to the other
Councilmem6ers, 1 would welcome your doing so.
A few of the veterans who spoke up at the August 11th dinneNcelebration talked about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD). Thqugh I was in combat and I had some rough times while serving in vetnam (being engaged in combat
firefights,' lasing buddies, fearing that I will not get out of the present predicament alive and having someone die in my
arms—I'd consider 4hese signs of a rough Ume], I do not have [I do not belieVe I haVe] PTSD. However, I believe t at the
incider ts of P7SD were dramatically increased in Vetnam overthe levels experienced from World War II and the Korean
War. No one pn convince me 4hat the Vaumas of war were any less severe in World War II or the Korean IAlar than fhey
were in Yetnam.VNhat was the difPerence? I can only think of two differences; more illegal drug use,Z and lack of support
for those fighting overseas by the folks back home.
Also, when I retumed from overseas, in route to (U.S.M.C. Base) Camp Pendleton, the base from which I was discharged,
I was bussed from (I believe) Travis Air Force Base to San Francisco Intemational Airport to catch my flight south.
However, once there, I was greeted, as were the other marines and servicemen with whom I was travelling, by hippies
with signs that ssid ihings like"End the Wa' and "Bring Our Boys Home, sentiments that were belied b theJoud shouts
from these same hippies of"Murders," "War Mongers"and"Baby Killers." Not much of a welcome home!
I know first hand how depressing it is to be in combat and facing all that goes with that, all the while knowing that the
American Society was not supportive of what we were doing —what we were trying to do to help the people of South
vefiam.J would receive copies of the newspaper from my home town (two weeks late as they were sent via ship), only to
read of college campuses dosing down to protest the war in Yefiam, of anti-war protests taking place in cities and towns
across the CouMry, of newscasters, politicians and Hollywood celebrities bashing the war in Vetnam. From my
perspective-from what we saw from back home—thffi portrayed a lack of support for us—for what we were trying to do.
Every member of my Recon Team, and everyone in my Platoon and my Company (I'm sure the whole Battalion), wished
we were fighting a war of which the folks back home were supportive. Since we were not getting much supportback home
for our war efforts, where did we get any support'? From our buddies, and from the people of South Vietnam. It may sound
strange to say this, but even in war, in etnam I had—we had—some good times, though uve also had some very tough
times. I lost some buddies and saw some of them seriously injured. But 1 am glad that I had the oppoRunity to serve in
Vetnam with the Marines of Recon. They were great guys.
Also, one of the most rewarding things I was able to do while in Vetnam was to go on "Med-Caps," where we — a few
marines and a couple corpsmen —wouid go out into the rural villages and provide medical help to the villagers, most ('rf
not all) of whom probably never saw a doctor in their life. Also, when we were in the rear, beNueen patrols, we could
occasionally talk to South Vietnamese citizens—those with whom we could communicate, they with fheir Pigeon English
and us with our Pigeon Vetnamese. They were glad we were there,they wanted us to be there and:appreciated our help.
It is for reasons like these— the chances to visit with people of South Vietnam and the opportunities to go out on Med-
Caps—that I am gled I had the opportunity to serve in Vietnam.
1ACT.F Page 30 of 335
But for those who may not haye had even these sources of appreciation, I can only think that serving in a war—combat
setting —facing the dangers that go with it, without feeling the support and encouragement of the folks back home (and
rather sensing a hostile angertoward the war), that can only leave.a person discouraged and depressed, and less able to
cope with the burdensof war.
I am glad that the military personnel who served in World War II, in the Korean War and in the wars in the Middle East, did
not have M contend with the hostile rejection of their efforts tiy the American Society. However, I believe that what we
were trying to do, though not supported by the news media, aoademia, politicians,Nollywood and too much of American
Society, was the right thing to do.
This brings me to the Joint Vetnamese Memorial. If we cannot recognize the good folks of Sauth Vetnam, on whose
behalf we fought and sacrifices, or worse yet, ff we hold grudges against them, that is a continuation of the sorty
sentiment too often expressed by American Sociery in t6e late 1960's antl early 1970's, essentially saying that we should
not have been there, that our sacrificeswere meaningless and our effortswere a waste of time, resources and personnel.
If for no other reason than to convey the message that the efforts and sacrifices of those who served and fought in
vetnam—trying to help the people of South Vefiam—are valuable and deserving of recognitian,the Memorial should be
built.
1. As a Navy Field Combat Corpsman [Medic] with the First Reconnaissance Battalion, Fleet Marine Force
USMCJ, I was one of a six-man team inserted deep behind enemy lines, to track and report enemy movements.
At least 50% of our missions ended in a firefight as one's reconnaissance ability ends when the enemy knows
where you are.
2, I was able W resist the temptation to use illegal drugs while in vetnam, but its use—the use ofmarijuana
and heroi e in particular— was so common, iY was hard to not notice. But not all who suffer PTSD used such
drugs, and thus 1 believe that the use of such drvgs was an attempt by some to cope with a depressing situation.
Those who were not there—or not in that sftuation—may not be able to appreciate how depressing it would be to
have your life on the line — being in combat, facing recurcent danger, losing buddies — in a war that is not
supported—that is opposed—back home.
3. I have heard that there are those who claim that such incidents did not happen, butJ know what I saw and
heard, and d cannot — will not — ever forget that, as I'm sure the other retuming servicemen will not. Moreover,
such receptions most have occurced (at least at Mat location) more than,just on the day f retumed, as on the bus
heading to the airport, the military wamed us about this ocourting, and cautioned us to not (overj 2act. It was

Thank you for your comments.
But I feel that the attRude toward the etnam War is related to the People of South Vietnam. If we do not support
the people on whose behalf we were there, how can we value the fact that we were there in the first place?
Please know that this is something about which I feel strongly.
The reason I feel the way I do is because I believe (I truly do believe) that what the U.S. was initially trying to do in
South Vietnam was the right thing to do—supporting a nation with which we were allied. Maybe we did not have
to join with the South Vietnamese in their "civil war' — or perhaps more correctly, their "war to separate
themselves from the North," but we did, and our govemment sent troops in to help them. Once we did that, we
owed it to our troops to support their mission and to try to suoceed in their efforts — ratherthan just having the
number of troops being senYOVer there increase, and with a recurring practice of"advance then pull-back,"seeing
the number of dead and injured troops mount.
I believe that the folks who sent us over there in the first place—those who passed the Guif of Tonkin Resolution
our representatives in Congress— had no gumption o will to succeed once opposition to the war surtaces back
home. With the marked increase of anti-war protests, and anti-war celebrities, Congress was impotent or unwilling
to do anything to support the troops. That was how I saw things when I was overseas. Every member of my
Recon Team and the other teams in my Company wished "why couldn't we be fighting in a war like Worid VVar II,
where the people back home were supportive of what we were trying to do."
Added to that [and I will argue with anyone who says differently on this, most of the people of South Viet Nam
wanted us there and wanted our help. That iswhatthey there telling us and that is consistent with what we all saw
after the U.S. Left— left South Vetnam in a lurch —with the almost immediate fall of South Vietnam, and that is
what we saw with the desperation of the boat people.
The folks who were saying at the time [incorrecUy from my perspective]that"the South Vetnamese didn't want us
there"were saying that because that supports their argument that we should not be there, that we should end the
war, that,it was not a deserving war, etc. The message was that it was wrong for us to be there.
Bluntly, the commentary that now indicates opposition to the South Vietnamese, especially that which is hostile
and sometimes laced with unfortunate vulgarity and profanity, to me re-states the same sentiments — that the
South Vietnamese didn't want us there, that we should not fiave been there, that Vietnam was not a deserving
war, and that it was wrong for us to be there. Rather than that being a healthy dialogue, to me, it goes counter to
the long and challenging efforts — positive and valuable efforts—of our society to correct the wrongful approach
too often taken toward the troops retuming from etnam. To me, recognizing that we were there to help the
people of South Vietnam validates our actions and our.service. Disparaging the reason we were there —to help
the people of South efiam—invalidates our actions and devalues our service.
When these negative sentiments are coming from folks who served in Vietnam, I have to ask: Do tFiey feel that
we-they - should not have been there? Do they feel that this was an undeserving war? Do they feel that serving
in etnam is something that is disgraceful and something about which they should be ashamed?
I recognize that such sentiments exist— they certainly do by those belonging to the "Veterans for Peace." But if
these sentiments belong to members of the VFW, I am confused. I understand that the mission and vision of the
VFW is to foster camaraderie among U.S. veterens of overseas conflicts; to advocate on behalf of all deterans,
and to ensure that veterans are respected for their service, and are recognized for the sacrifices they have made
on behalf of this great country.
Rather than seeing the rejection of South Vietnamese [and even the rejection of the recent VFW motion] as a
healing measure, I submit it is a revival of the negative senNments voices so often forty-plus years ago.
And when it comes from members of the VFW, I feel it is all the more troubling — coming from a source that
should support the folks who served in Vietnam, and recognize and value their service, not adding to the criticism
of their efforts or the value of their service.
I understand that Mike Sepal brought this point up, but there is (no longer) a South Viefiam, different than any
other war with which the United States has ever been involved. I am confident that there are memorials in other
cauntries related to U.S. help in war—e.g., The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines, The
Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France and The U.S. Korean War Memorial in Busan, South
Korea, to name just a few. There is no such memorial in Vietnam. There are not even any war memorials thaY
recognize any combatants in vetnam other than thosewho fought for North etnam. But even this is a differenY
topic, though it is my answer as to why we needn't necessarily open the door for other memorials (not, mind you,
something that I would find objectionable).
3ACT.F Page 32 of 335
Also, for what it is worth, I do not believe the fact that Qlympia rejected a proposed memorial as a reason for
Aubum to do so. Olympia is quite a different community from Aubum. Between the two, I am glad I am in Aubum.
I know I went on for a while, but I'd like to talk to you about this sometime if we have the chance.
Thanks.

I have to tell you I really enjoyed your comments about the Vietnam War. Actually you said it all, iLs not
about the vetnamese people that our members are objecting too, its the war and all the consequences
for AmeriCan Veterans. Some can get past it like yourself and open thier hearts up to allied vets, some
cannot, that is the dilemma that can divide the city. I think building it on private property can be a win-win
for the city. Those vets that pnnot make the leap you did pn stiil come to Memorial Park without
triggering feelings that might be hartnful to our Vetnamese citizens and former allies. They will also avoid
the perception Mat their government abandoned them once again.
In a private setting those who have made the transition and fully forgave the wadCountry can visit and
serve as an example and point of light for others, our Yemamese alliance can also have a place they can
call home and share their healing spirit with those who need it.
Once again Dan, thanks for your courageous and meaningful comments, thanks for all you do for ourpost

This is a follow-up to ourrecent conversation regarding the proposed Vietnam Veterans Memorial
being considered for the City of Aubum. You indicated that you wanted feedback — wanted to
know whaYthe members of the Aubum VFW Post thought about a proposed Vietnam Veteran's
Memorial that jointly recognized U.S. ,military Voops and those of the military of South Uetnam,
and what the thoughts are of Posf inembers regarding whether this Memorial ought to recognize
the South Vetnamese military veterans along with U.S. military veterans. Here are my thoughts:
As you know, I had the opportunity to serve wkh the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam. I was a Navy
Field Combat Corpsman assigned to 1st Reconnaissance Battalion out of Da Nang — not too far
from the 17th parallel, between North and South Vietnam. The Marines of Recon, especially
those of my team — Road Test, were the greatest group of guys I'd ever expect to have served
with — Marines alongside whom I had the greatest honor of serving. In our patrol missions, we
would penetrate deep behind enemy lines to watch for enemy troop movements; and at least half
of our patrols ended with a firefight [when the enemy is shooting at you, your reconnaissance
potential is severely curtailed]. As a Corpsman (a Navy Medic), I werrt out on patrols, carried an
M-16 and my pack, and did everyfhing my Marine teammates did, though when in a firefight, my
first priority was to attend to those who were injured or in need of inediql help. [As an aside, I
never saw any atrocities as depicted in the movies. For that matter, once my buddies were all
accounted for and akay, I would try to aid wounded enemy combataMs —the folks who minutes
before were shooting at us. This may seem counter-intuitive, but we—my team —looked at it this
way: if bringing back a wounded, but living, enemy soldier could help shorten the war, it was
worth our doing, and besides, it was the right thing to do.] But when in the rear, in behveen
patrols, I had the opportunity to talk3o citizens of South Vietnam with my pigeon-vetnamese and
their pigeon-English [I must confess, theirs was better than mine]. Those with wfiom I spoke were
glad we were there. I also had the occasional opportunity to meet up with military units of South
Vietnam. In facY I recall on one instance when our team's patrol was extended —the time out in
the jungle was lengthened beyond what was inifially planned to be. We here we were flat out of
food, and we were directed to the camp of a South Vietnamese Popular Forces unft (an allied
militia unit)which was notloo faraway. They willingly, graciously shared their food with us. It still
amazes me to think how delicious a simple meai of fish and rice tastes when one is really hungry.
If there is opposkion to the joint recognition proposal, as may be inferred by the question you
asked, I do not know the basis for that opposkion. I do not believe that a joint recognition would
detracts from honoring U.S. etnam Veterans. Rather, I believe it may help put things in
perspective. I also do not know what harm would stem from including in memorial recognition of
the soldiers and militia of South etnam, citizens of vetnam, the people on whose behalf we
were engaged in the conflict of the Vetnam War, but from my perspective,those on whose behalf
we were acting were appreciative of our presence. I know from reading the history of etnam
that in the early 1950's, when Ho Chi Minh sought to expel the F2nch from Yetnam (part of
French Indochina), he aligned his anti-French forces with the Communist Chinese and Russians.
When he did so, many hundreds of thousands of people who resided in the northem portion of
the country fled Hanoi and the north, going to the south. That significantly increased the
population of folks in the southem part of Vetnam who did not want bo be govemed by a
communist controlled govemment, and the result of that exodus was to divide the country into
what later became North and South vefiam. You may recall as well from history that in response
to the Civil War that followed between the divided Vetnam, a conflict that eventually drew the
United States into the fray, the United Nations endeavored to resolve the conflict between the
North and the South. The United Nations soughtto impose a ten-year cease-fire, (temporarily)
drawing a line at the 17th parallel, dividing North from South. Along with that, the U.N. scheduled
a reconciliation vote to be heid in 10 years. However, as the year 1964 (the end of the ten-year
5ACT.F Page 34 of 335
period) approached, opposition to holding the unifying election grew among many people in the
South who did notwant to be a part of a communist nation. Their fhinking was that with the past
ten years of independent, autonomous existence, the government of South Vietnam was
sufficienUy established and separate from North Viet Nam, so that the election was not called for.
That opposition to the elecHon, in turn, aggravated the fragile cease-fire, and civil war hostilities
started to increase. This, in turn, prompted increased intervention by the United States military.
This is not by any means a complete history of everything that prompted U.S. involvement in
Vietnam, but for the purposes of explaining my sentimentslresponse to yourquestion, f believe it
is sufficient.)
I know that there were some people in South Vietnam who were opposed to the anti-communist
govemment, and it may be that there were problems with the Southi Vietnamese govemment; like
there may be with many, if not most, governments. We all may recall the 4ivid images of Buddhist
monks who set themselves on fire to protest the pargely Christian supported) govemment of
South Vietnam. But I submit, the Buddhists were not sportive of communist North etnam as
much as they were opposed to the Christian controlled govemment of South Vietnam. A
testimony to that is that once the Americans left Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam
fell, no one suffered more at the hands of the (now) communist govemment of etnam than the
Buddhists. From my perspective, they were expecting to be left alone by the corrimtinist
government of Vetnam, perhaps in exchange for their opposition the government of South
vetnam. But that was not what the atheistic, communist govemmenthad in mind, once in control.
And once in conhol, the communist government removed the right and opportuniry for the people
to select their rulers, which at least existed to some extent prior to the fali of the South Vietnam
government.
As I see it, before the governmenYof South Vietnam fell, South Vietnam had a population which
included many who were clearly more aligned with the United Statesand who had a desire:not to
be governed by a communist-controlled regime. There were, again, Buddhists who were opposed
to the Christian population and likewise opposed to a government (an elected goverimment)
largely comprised of the Christian population. There were also, of course, those less-politically
motivated folks who were more concerned about their next bowl of rice than the political
persuasions of their neighbors. However, even twenty years after theirexodus in the eahy 1950's,
anti-communist sentiments continued among many of those who left the north to escape
communism. Those who did notwant to be under communist domination were the people viwho
wanted us there; they were the people who wanted our help to avoid that. From my perspedive,
many people in the United States, including members of the television news media, politicians in
Washington D.C., protesters on college campuses, hippies at the San Francisco Irrtemational
Airport, and Hollywood celebrities like Jane Fonda, missed the fact (or refused to believe) that
these people did not want to be communists and that they wanted us there to help them. Their
opposition to a communist controlled govemment would have been obvious to anyone who would
look aYthings objectively. For that matter, it has been estimated that 65,000 efiamese were
executed after the end of the war, with one million being sent to prisoNre-education camps where
an estimated additional 165,000 died. But their opposiNon woutd have been most clearly evident
when one considers that many citiiens of South Vietnam took the absolutely desperate measure
of getting into overcrowded vessels of questionable seaworthiness, leaving everybody and
everything else behind, not knowing where they would end up or even whether theywould end up
someplace, in an effort to leave after the fall of South vetnam. Unfortunately, many such efforts
ended in tragedy. The United Nations estimates that hundreds of thousands of people seeking to
escape communist etnam perished because of these efforts. Anybody who disputes this
descripGon, and their desperation, should talk to one of these "vetnamese boat peopte" many of
whom eventually made iY to this Country (the United States is reported fo have accepted over
800,000 of these refugees). It is w'ith anguish that I think how tragically America failed the people
of South Vietnam. They were not failed not by the military troops who were trying to help them,
but by the politicians who vacillated in direction and resolve regarding the "conflict" and by those
in the media and in Hollywood, and others, who sabotaged the morale of the American troops,
troops who were trying to do a task that became impossible because it was unpopular and
unsupported back home.
To answer your question, I would support a Vietnam Veterans Memorial that recognizes our
partners in the conflict in Southeast Asia and that recognizes the people who wanted us to be
there. Recognizing the people on whose behalf we were acting helps show the legitimacy of our
6ACT.F Page 35 of 335
having been there. Ignoring them drews'into question the purpose for our being oyer there. They
deserve our support; they deserved it then and deserve itnow.
I am sending this to the entire VFW email list so that: (1) others know what l think-making my
position known — and (2) if tliere a e others who may have thoughts in these regards, they may
also wish to weigh in on your question.
Thank you.

Subject:Why the JoiM American-Vietnames Memorialneeds to be supported
Dear Mr. Holman and Mayor Lewis,
I am writing you to ask for your support for the Joint American-Vietnaznese War Memorial. "fhe reasons are too
many to put in to a simple letter. It was started by a Vietnamese Woman in appreciauon for American-born
veterans who served in her country. The idea continued with Mayor Lewis to place the monument in Auburn, a
special place for veterans and veteran projects.
The monument is intended to recogiuze the sacrifices and experiences of women, who are the least recognized
during events like this. Thus there is a woman/nurse depicted.
It goes fiuther in that it acknowledges the experiences of inedical personnel, who were always bystanders to the
carnage and were tasked to caze for those who survived. There is little to no recognition for them. I know tliis is
true as I was a medic during Desert Storm.
T'he monument is to provide a place for members of our community and our allies within the veteran
coinmunity to remember and moum lost loved ones and former comrades. Those would include ttiose who
s,vea a a at,'t. Imagine that Mt. Tahoma National Cemetery or any cemetery that contained your loved
ones being bulldozed for out of spite and where your loved one's final resting place has been paved over. That
is how it is for us American-born and the Vietnamese community.
A monument like this is a very difficult issue to face because of the painful memories, usually not dealt with in
a healthy manner: Projects like this have always faced resistance. In 1986 Sarah Blum and a Vietnamese
woman, also a nurse, started a project to bring veterans together in Seattle—they were pHysically tlireatened. In
the end it was brilliant success. Every Viemam veteran I ever spoken xo said they could noY face "The Wall"in
DC or were left in teazs. Now this is the most visited site inthe Washington Ma11. This is true for the projects in
California, Texas, and Kansas.
Tfie Joint American-Viemamese War Memorial is intended to bring added value in coming years to City of
Aubum and the veteran community with projects to teach, enhance the quality of life in Aubum, and even add
to commerce through tourism. However, its projected intentions for the next few yeazs,aze-to tell the story of
the cost of Freedom-Democracy-Self Determination.
iACT.F Page 37 of 335
T'he red and yellow flag of South Vietnam,that is intended to fly over the statues represent to the Vietnamese,
their communiTy,their heritage, and their lost homeland..It represents Freedom-Democracy. For most
American-born veterans the flag represents what we gave and lost. The yellow and red ribbon I wore during the
23 yeazs in the Army still means the most to me, more that the Bronze Star, the Air Meda1, or the Meritorious
Service lvledal (the highest peace time award). Vehicles up and down Interstate—5 have red and yellow bumper
stickers,more so than any other displayed.
Even though there is a small minority of ill-informed people opposing, we still receive notices of support all
over the Puget Sound region and from other States who are wa4ching us. We invite all people to work together
for an effort of teaching and healing,just as theTraveling Vietnam Memorial Wall does where everit goes.
Thank you.

Honorable Mayor Pete Lewis,
The purpose of this email is to strongly affirm my full support of the proposed Vietnam veteran's memorial in
Aubum as both a state legislator, and as the widow ofa veteran who served our country honorably. Many
veterans and their families have called this area fiome for some 1ime, and it is imperative that we give them our
full respect and appreciation.
Manyfamilies in our area have been touched by the bravery and sacrifice of our solders. On a personal level,
my twin brother whom I loved deazly served in Vietnam:and later died of his injuries. My deceased hus6and
David also served in Vietnam as a pilot, and made great sacrifices for lus country. It is critical to me that we
honor our loved ones and fallen solders who courageously served our country, and paid the ultimate price.
Such a memorial in Auburn is very appropriate for our azea, where many Vietnam veterans and their families
have settled and call home. I urge your support, and offer my assistance in any way I can.
Sincerely,

Subjeet:etnam Veterans' Memorial
I azn writing on behalf of the American-Vietnamese War Memorial Alliance to ask faryour support for the
proposed memorial for Veitnam War veterans in Auburn's Veterans' Memorial Park.
The Alliance is a non-profit, charitable organization formed to honor Vietnam Waz soldiers including South
Vietnamese and alliedsoldiers who fought with Americans. We also strive to educate citizens about the history
of the war and preserve the memory of those gave their lives in that struggle.
We aze not apolical organization. We aze seeking 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organization, which limits
political activiry. However, we need the Auburn Ciry Council's support to fixllfill our mission.
T'he Viemazn Waz stirs deep emouons. Many Viemam veterans still suffer from post tramatiastress disorder
PTSD), often un-diagnosed and/or un-treated. Many will go to their graves with deep emotional scazs and
unresolved iraumas. Others, as they approach theii final years, struggle to find peace within
themselves,These veterans need to hear that their sacrif ces aze understood and honored by their families and
the community. They need a time and place to remember, grieve, and find peace. That is what this memorial is
about.
Bringing together the American and Vietnamese veterans is a powerfiil healing experience for veterans seeking
spiritual peace. American veterans aze surprised to leam they aze honored as heros by the Viemamese refugee
coinmuniry. They feel their loss iess keenly when they understand the tragic loss and suffering of the South
Vietnamese soldiers left behind when American withdrew from the waz. The South Vietnamese veterans, now
living as refugees in this country, long to be accepted and understood in this country. Often their limited
English isolates them. Coming together with American veterans who honor their shuggle restores their pride.
They do not have many words; but they have a flag. When that flag is displayed and honored no words are
needed to fill their hearts with pride and to make them feel understood.
Last night; about 100 Vietnam Veterans and their families attended a Vietnam Veterans Appreciarion Dinner at
Holy FamilyParish. Most were American veterans or Auburn residents. Councilman Holman and Mayor Lewis
weie there: If you had been there and heard the veteran's stories you would understand what the Alliance is all
about and what the joint memorial can do for the community of Auburn.
By supporting the proposed joint memorial in Auburn,yousupport healing veterans and unifying the
community. You also educate the public about the history of this nation's sruggle for human rights and
democracy,and the price of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
Respectfully asking for your support for the memorial,

Subject:Vietnam Memorial
Mayor Lewis,
My name is Michael Howazd and I served with the 2/8 Mechanized Infantry 4th Infantry Division in and near
Pleiku, Vietnam in 1968 and 1969. I was wounded in combat July 1 1968 and received a Purple Heart for those
wounds.,I left some of my flesh and a lot of my blood in Vietnam. I'm blessed to even be here. I have a friend
born and raised in Auburn that lost his brother in Vietnam and I believe his daughters life ended due to the
effects of Agent Orange (Dixon). We have a Veteran's Administration to help us Vet's with our physical and
mental(unseen)wounds from that conflict. We lost 58,000 plus in the waz, at last I heard we lost 170,000
Vietnam Vet's to suicide. There aze uncountable Vietnam Vet's that are dying or adversely effected from Agent
Orange. We have a saying "We a11 died in Vietnam, some of us just have not fallen over yet".
This brings me to our brothers in arms the ARVN's Army of the Republic of South Vietnam. They don't have a
Veterans Administrarion,they don't have the support or recogni6on that we American Soldier ot be it years
later. I will speak for inyself here, although many Vietnam Vet's would agree with me, I believe the polirican's
prevented the United States Armed Forces from completing the job we were sent to Vietnam to do. Please
understand that I realize and understand that politicians have a job to do and that was then this is now. Our
Vietnamese brothers were abandoned in 19Z5 and'left to face the horror of being over run and captured by the
very regime we American's were sent to destroy, so South Viemam could live in peace and a democracy.
I have the upmost respect for the City of Auburn!!!! Your forward thinking provides the largest Veterans
Parade this side of the Mississippi. It was in this Parade that I received the recognition for my serviceto my
country for the second fime since I came home in 1970. T'he first was at my church. You have no idea the
healing power your City provides for all veterans of alI wars. To march in that Parade, with my fellow
Vietnamese, Laotian brothers provides healing and closure from the many years of pain and suffering I have
gone through since Viemam. You and your City have the opportunity to right a wrong that has plagued our
fellow Vietnamese veterans and their familiesforyears. I served on a committee with Viemamese and
American Veterans that tried to get a memorial to the Vietnamese at the State Capitol. Plans had been
submitted, drawing and placement of the Memorial were in place,the Senate and House.had approved the
memorial almost half of the funds were raised to implement Uus Memorial. It is my understanding that one or
two.people opposed tfiis Memorial an it did not happen. Again my Vietnamese brothers and sisters were denied
their due.
The people of Auburn l ave the opportunity to reverse this pattern of rejection. I pray that you will move
forwazd and give the Viemamese People the recognition they righdy deserve by giving them this honor, which
for so many years has been denied.
A second generation Vietnamese woman and her family have strived so hard to have a place to take their
children and say "Look this is to commemorate the valor of your fore fathers". As one of the:speakers at the
dinner last evening stated " There are Memorials through out many countries in honor of the American soldier,
for theiraction and valor in azmed conflicu". Do our Vietnamese soldiers and their families deserve any less?
I will mention azeas where I serve the communiry but first and foremost I am a Vietnam Veteran..

Subject:Proposed Allied etnam Memorial
AttachmerKs: Aubum Monument Letter.pdf
Mayor Peter Lewis & Honorable Members of the Auburn City Council,
We have attached our previous letter and reiterate our support of the
proposed monument honoring the allied soldiers who served in the
Vietnam War. The loss to the Vietnam homeland is the United States'
gain. This great nation received an influx of refugees from that conflict,
most of whom have become hard working, productive citizens.
Although the war was controversial in the United States and continues to
be so; although some look at the Vietnamese themselves as the place to
lay the blame; it is the long over due time to put that aside. The
monument proposed for Auburn is one means to do that. It will provide a
place to honor all of the allied soldiers who came together for the cause of
democracy and will provide a place of healing.
Freedom is not easily paid for and we recognize that there are conflicting
views of this monument. The City of Auburn has an opportunity to do
what tfie communist government will not do in Vietnam, to recognize
a11 veterans of the conflict. To citizens of the Northwest, Auburn is a
leader in demonstrating appreciation of our veterans, our allies, and the
diversity that comprises the United States. This is another opportunity to
do so.
Chapter XVI, 173d Airborne Brigade Association, heartedly encburages
you to support and approve this proposed monument. Thank you for your
fime, service, and consideration of this issue.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing you to ask for your support for the Joint American-Viefiamese War Memorial.The
reasons are too many to put in to a simple letter. It was started by a Vietnamese Woman in
appreciation for American-born veterans who served in her country.The idea conrinued with
Mayor Lewis to place[he monument in Auburn,a special place for veterans and veteran projects.
The monument is intended to recognize thesacrifices and experiences of women,who are the least
recognized daring events like this.Thus there is a woman/nurse depicted.
It goes,further in that it acknowledges the experiences of inedical personnel,who were always
bystanders to the carnage and were tasked to care for those who survived.There is little to no
recognition for them.I know this is true as f was a medic during Desert Storm.
The monument is to provide a place for members of our community and our allies within the
veteran communiry to remember and mourn lost loved ones and former comrades.Those would
include those who survived and didn t Imagine that Mt Tahoma National Cemetery or any
cemetery that contained your loved ones being bulldozed for out of spite and where your loved
one's final resting place has been paved over.That is how it is for us American-born and the
Vieuiamese community.
A monument like this is a very difficult issue to face because of the painful memories,usually not
dealt with in a healthy manner. Projects like this havealways faced resistance.In 1986Sarah Blum
and a Vietnamese woman,also a nurse,started a project to bring veterans together in Seattle-they
were physically threatened.ln[he end it was brilliant success. Every Viemam veteran I ever
spoken to said they could not face"The Wall"in DC or were lek in[ears. Now this is the.most visited
site in tkie Washington Mall.This is true for the projects in California,Texas,and Kansas.
The Joint American-Vietnamese War Memorial is intended to bring added value in coming years to
City f Auburn and the veteran community with projec[s to teach,enhance the quality of life in
Auburn,and even add to commerce through tourism. However,its projected intenrions for the next
fewyears are-to tell the story of the wst of Freedom-Democracy-Self Determination.
The red and yellow Flag of South Vietnam,that is intended to fly over the statues represent to the
Vietnamese,their community,their heritage;and their lost homeland.lt represents Freedom-
Democracy. For most American-born veterans the flag represents what we gave and lost The
yellow and red ribbon I wore during the 23 years in the Army still means the most to me,more that
the Bronze Star,the AirMedal,or the Meritorious Service Medal (the highest peace time award).
Vehicles up and down Interstate-5 have red and yellow bumper stickers,more so than any other
displayed.
Even though there is a small minority of ill-informed people opposing,we still receive nouces of
support all over the Puget Sound region and from other States who are watching us.We invite all
people to work together for an effort of teaching and healing,just as the Traveling Vietnam
Memorial Wall does where ever it goes.l'hank you.

Subject:Viefnam Veterans' Memorial
I am writing on behalf of the American-Vietnamese Waz Memorial Alliance to ask fo your support for the
proposed memorial for Veitnam Waz veterans in Auburn'sVeterans' Memorial Park.
The Alliance is a non-profit, charitable organization formed to honor Vietnam Wazsoldiers includ'mg South
Vietnamese and allied`soldiers.who fought with Americans. We also strive to educate citizens about the history
of the waz and preserve the memory of those gave their lives imthat struggle.
We are not a polical organization. We aze seeking 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organiza6on, which limits
political activity. However, we need the Aubum City Council's support to fullfill our mission.
The Vietnam Waz stirs deep emotions. Many Vietnam veterans still suffer from post uamatic stress disorder
PTSD), often nn=diagnosed and/or un-treated. Many will go to their graves with deep emotional scars and
uruesolved uaumas. Others, as they approach their final years, struggle to find peace within
themselves;These veterans need to heaz that their sacrifices aze understood and honored by their families and
the community. They need a tnne and place to remember, grieve, and find peace. That is what this memorial is
about.
Bringing together the American and Viehiamese veterans is a powerful healing experience for veterans seeking
spiritual peace. American veterans aze surprised to leam they are honored as heros by the Vieinamese refugee
community. They feel their loss less keenly when they understand the tragic loss and suffering of the South
Vietnamese soldiers left behind when American withdrew from the war. The South Viemamese veterans, now
living as refugees in this country, long to be accepted and understood in this country. Often their limited
English isolates them. Coming together with American veterans who honor their siruggle restores their pride.
They do not have many words; but they have a flag. When that flag is displayed and honored no words aze
needed to fill their hearts with pride and to make them feel understood.
Last night,about 100 Vietnam Veterans and their families attended a Vietnam Veterans Appreciation Dinner at
Holy Family Parish. Most were American veterans or Auburn residents. Councilman Holman and:Mayor Lewis
were there. If you had beerr there and heazd the veteran's stories you would understand what the Alliance is a11
about and what the joint memorial can do for the commnnity of Aubuin.
By supporting the proposed joint memorial in Auburn, you support,healing veterans and unifying the
community. You also educate the public about the history of this nation's sruggle for human ri hts and
democracy,and the price of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
Respectfully asking for your support for the memorial,
Lan Phan Jones
Co-President,
American-Vietnamese Waz Memorial Alliance

Subject: Objection to Joint Memortal in Veterans Memorial Park
Deaf Mayor and Auburn City Council,
I respectfully ask thaf yon don't snpport the Joint Vietnamese Amerlcan Memorial being
planned for Meinortal Park for the following reasons:
Thcre ahould be only onc flag cl ispiayed in the park designed to honor American
veterans and that flag is the Stars snd Stripes. Using public property or public funds to
support another country's tlag would diminish the value of the Cutrent Memorial and offend
msny veterans. The current Memorial honors all veterans from all conflicts and is keeping with
Auburns goal to be an all inclusive comiriunity.
The organizers of the Joint Memorial Project do not represent amajority of the veterans in the
Auburn and many do not,reside in the city of Auburn. While the project might have some merit
it wbiild best be receiveil if it were placed on private property with private funding.
Placing e Vietnamese flag in Memorial Park will serve as a negative trigger for many Vietnam
Veterans and certainly do more harm than good. Vietnam Veterans suffering from ATSD are
tikely:to avoid any trigger that reminds them of the pain they endured as a result of that conflict:
The organizers claim that a majority of Vietnam Veterans could be healed by such a memorial is
unfounded and has no evidence to support tliat claim There may be a few testimonials but there
is no such evidence that stetes a joint Memorial could cure the pain associated with the Vietnam
War. A similar pmject was proposed in the ciry of Olympia back in 2011 and was abandoned by
i
ACT.F Page 74 of 335
the Washington Department of Veterans Affaits due to strong objections by local Vietnam
Veterans Groups in December 2011.
I know a little something about the Vietnam conflict because while I wes in college eaming
my social work degree in I-Iuntington, West Vi ginia (1982-1983)I worked in a Vietnem
Veteran Outreach Center for two years. During that period I leamed that each American
Vietnam vetcraus experience was different and there is no one,single cure for the complez
issues aesoclated with that war. I learned that those suffering from PTSD tend to avoid triggers
that bring back the pain associated with that conflict. I liave worked in healthcare for 32 years:
Today the.practice of inedleiac is evidence-bASed and simply there is no evidence that suggests
the Memoriai cited above can help American Veterans deal with the complexiries associated
with the Vietnam War. Patients have a choice on the medicines they take and the one cited above
has not been vetted and manyveterans do not want it.
Should you approve this Memorial in Memorial Park I wholeheartedly believe based on my
ea perience that many veterans will see this as snpporting a apecial interest group over the
objection of the men and women ryho shed blood,tears and sweat to defend this country and
some Vietnam Veterans will get the imprcasion that thdr local government abandoned them
in favor of a special interest project.
In no way shwld this be perceived as a slap agairsst the Vietnamese commimity in We great
city of Auburn. The vast majority of the people supporting the Joint Memorial are Americans
cidzens and taka the same Pletlge of Allegiance to the American flag that you take before every
city council,meeting. We should all unite under the American flag to honor American veteran
sac=ifces. I respectfully disagree with their desire to place a memorial with tt e South
Vietnamese flag in Mcmorial Park, The Auburn city government has no obligation to recognize
veterans from other countries and no pu6lic funding orproperty should be used for such a
projeci. Approving such a project will only divide the Auburn community.
Respectfully,
FrankBannister

Dear Mayor
I disagree with the Vietnamese community of Auburn who want to place a joint memorial with
the South Viemamese flag in our Auburn Memorial Park.Veterens from other countries who did
not serve in the United States of America's Armed Forces should never be recognized in our
Park.
I am a retired Air Force Pilot who flew 158 combat missions over North Vietnam and Laos inan
F-4 during the Vietnam War. Of the 26 pilots who I trained with,only 13 retumed. Thousands of
our Air Force,Army,Navy and Marine combat men and Women did not rehun from the
Vietnam War. Therefore, I strongly believe that our Auburn Memorial Park should only support
those men and women who defended our country.

Subject: Vote Against the Joint Vietnam Amerlcan Memoriaf.in Memorlal Park
Mayor Lewis and Counsel Members,
I am writing to you asking you NOT to support the Joint Vietnam American Memorial in
Memoriel Perk.
As a recently retired Navy Ofticer whose service ranges from just atter the end of the Viemam
War to our present War on Terrorism I am totally opposed to this Joint Memorial as it is
presently proposed.
Such a memorial is not conducive to the theme of Auburn's Memorial Park which represents all
American wars: If you vote to allow snch a memoriat as the one proposed you would then a(low
the park to be dissected apart with new requests from every group imaginable. Consider for a
moment the Memorial as it is today and then as a place with joint American memorials with
Vietnsm,Korea,Iraq,Afghanistan,and it could go on and on. Auburn and its community enjoy
abeautiful Memorial Park as it stands today without omphasizing any one particular war,
conflict,or any of its allies.
If a group or arganizarion wishes to build a memorial emphasizing a particular war or conflict
somewhere else in Aubum I could'support iliat and'I hope you wouid to.
Very Respectfully,
Nick Tarbox

I em appalled of the thought for a joint Memoriai Park to be shared with a Foreign Nation. I
served my country as s Marine in Viet Nam and other(Shadow)donflicts with pride and with
honor for 25 years.
I haye never once thought that a dedicadon to the"AMERICAN PIGfITING MAN" would have
to be shared with another country's flag.
To consider this Joint venture is a Slap in the face to every Military Veteran and all the men and
women who sacrificed their lives to protect this naUOn. I can only hope that your loyalty as an
American Patriot you reconsider you decision for a joint Memorial parlc

Sdbjeeti Rc: Joint Vietnamese American Memorial
Mayor Lewis,
Thank you for your response of my email and for the information you
provided. I didn't know that this Joint 1Nar Memorial is going to be privately
funded. Please forgive me for my ignorance. But, who are these "State VA
Director and his group"?
I thought the VA is a government entity and therefore funded by us,
taxpayers. Also, the proposed location where this memorial is going to be
built is public land, and therefore owned by us, taxpayers of Auburn. And
from what l understand, the maintenance of this Joint Memorial will also be
shouldered by the city of Aubum, and that's us, taxpayers.
Please correct me again if I am wrong with these assumptions.
Tfiis idea of a Joint Memorfal has never been presented to us, resident voters
ofthe city of Auburn. The only things we've heard discussed extensively by
the political leaders of Auburn were the golf course and the dog pound ofthis
town.
I happen to hear of this idea of a Joint Memorial through my membership with
the VFW Post 1741, and during one of our meetings;we talked about it, and
except for a couple of silent nays, we voted unanimously against3he idea.
Most especialiy that part of the idea where the defunct flag of Vietnam would
fly side by side with the Stars and Stripes. Only one flag shouid fly in this
Veterans Park. Only one kind of war veterans sh6uld be honored in this park,
i
ACT.F Page 90 of 335
and thaYs the veterans of the United States of America, who fought and gave
their lives and limbs away, in defense of this country's ideals and way of life.
Thank you for listening, Mayor.
Respectfully yours,
Jesse Jose

Second, why only a Joint Memorial with the etnamese? Why
only with these people?
What about other allies who fought alongside America's warriors
in other wars? Like my Filip'ino ancestors, wFio volunteered and
fought bravely with American soldiers, not only in Vllorid U1lar II,
but aiso in Korea during the war there, and in World Wa_.r I in
Europe. And theirloyalty to America have remained steadfast
and strong, and got passed on down from one generation to
anofher ... like myown generation. Many of my generation have
enlisted in the US Navy, and volunteered to fight for this country
during the war in Vietnam. My ancestors and us also deserve this
kind of Joint Memorial, don't we?
What about the Japanese-Americans at the outset of World War
II, who were living then in Amer'ica and volunteered to fight for
America, inspite of the factthat their native country then was the
enemy," yet their Joyalty remained with America? They also
deserve this kind of inemorial; don't they?
What about those South Korean soldiers, who also fought bravely
alongside America's warriors during the war there, surely they
also desenre this kind of Joint Memorial, don't they?
The list of America's allies goes on and on.
If our town of Auburn is gaing to build a Joint Memorial Park,
courtesy of Auburn taxpayers, by ail means, let's build it. But IeYs
include all the loyal allies, who have joined America'ssoldiers in
bravely fighting for America's belief of freedom and democracy.
Let's don't leave anybody out!
And IeYs fly the Star and Stripes above all other national flags.
We, veterans and members of the VFW Post 1741 fought and laid
our lives on the line primarily for fhis flag. No otherflags were
relevant to us then; no other flags are relevant to us now.
If supporters of this Joint American Vetnamese Memorial are
adamant in being exclusive of"others;" let them build it with their
private funds and on private land, not with taxpayers' money and
on public land.
Sincerely yours,
Jesse Jose

Dear Auburn City Council Members:
Thetime is drawing near when a decisionmust be made about buitding the Vietnamese-
American memorial.
As I attended the last council meeting on August 19th,I feh there were more reasons to have it in
tlie Gity Park than not to.
Let us usc compassion and tolerance to come to the right decisiou not just for the Vietnamese but
for American soldiers who fought there and are still suffering for it to this date.
For SOme and I understand, Ihe Vietnamese flag;epresents many things: For me,whan 1 see it,I
am reminded of a job left undo and the sadnoss inside for leaving them to theirdoom.
Please I beg of you all,do not cruinble under any political pressure.They lost their country not
because of,what they failed to do but what we feiled to do,and that's staying the course.
People will come from far and wide to see it,not only the Viemamese community but Americans
who fought there as welf.
The Vietnamese community will maintain it,and as I understand,it won't cost the City a dime.
And as I understand it too,their flag will only be flown on certain holidays like tho-Veterans
Day.
They love America,but they also love Vietnam. Please let them have it, or should I ssy let us
have itr

Subjed: ]olnt Viefiam Memorial
Mayor.
Per your invitation to e-mail you to let you know my thoughts — our thoughts — regarding support for (or
opposition to) the proposed Joint Vietnam Memorial — I wish to send my thoughts to you, First of all, I
wanY you to know that I am not wrifing this as the Aubum Gity Attomey, but as a citizen of the Aubum
Gommunity (I may not live within the ciry limits -'I live just outside 4he city limits — but l have an Aubum
address and I consider Aubum to be my town). Also,I am writing 4his as a Viefiam Veteran.
I am including Krith this submittal a couple of e-mails I previous y exchanged with Aubum VFW Fost
Gommander'Frank Banister— most curtent on top — oldest below. I do not feel I should repeat whffi I
already said, though iF you have any questions of ine, please let me know. Also, I am sending this to you
and Gouncilmember Hoiman —as both of you attended the dinneNcelebration on Augusf 11th. But if you
would find 'R helpful or worthwhile to send this to the other Gouncilmembers, I wouid welcome your doing
so.
A few of fhe veterans who spoke up at the August 11th dinnedcelebration Talked about Post Traumatic
Stress Disrorder(PTSD). Though I was in combat and I had some rough times while serving in Vietnam
being engaged in combat firefights,' losing buddies, fearing that I will not get out of the present
prediqment alive and having someone die in my arms — I'd consider these signs of a rough time], I do
not have[I do not believe I have PTSD. However, I believe that the incidents of PTSD were dramatically
increased in Vietnam over the levels experienced from World War II and the Korean War. No one can
convince me that the traumas of war were any less severe in World War II or the Korean War than they
were in Vietnam.What was the difference7 I can only think of two differences; more illegal drug use,2 and
lack of support for those fighting overseas by the folks back home.
Also, when I reWrned from overseas, in route to (U.S.M.C. Base) Camp Pe dleton, the base from which I
was discharged, I was bussed from (I believe) Travis Air Force Base to San Francisco Intemational
Airport to catch my flight south. However, once there, I was greeted, as were the other marines and
servicemen with whom I was travelling, by hippies with signs that said things like "End the Wa' and
Bring Our Boys Home, sentiments that were belied' by the loud shouts from these same hippies of
Murders,°°War Mongers°and°Baby Killers."Not much of a welcome home!3
I know first hand how depressing it is to be in wmbat and facing all that goes with that, all the while
knowing that the American Society was not supportive of what we were doing—what wewere trying to do
to help the people of South VietnBm. I would receive copies of the newspaper from my home town (two
weeks late as they were sent via ship), oNy to read of college campuses closing down to protest the war
in Vietnam, of anti-war protests taking place in cities and towns across the Country, of newscasters,
politicians and Nollywood celebri6es bashing the war in Viefiam. From my perspectiye —from what we
saw from back home — that portrayed a lack of support for us — for what we were trying to do. Every
member of my Recon Team, and everyone in my Platoon and my Gompany (I'm sure the whole
Battalion), wished we were fighting a war of which the folks back home were supportive. Since we were
not getting much support back home for ourwar efforfs, where did we get any support? From our
buddies, and from the people of South Vietnam. k may sound strange to say this, but even in war, in
Vetriam I had — we had — some good dmes, though we also had some very tough times. I lost some
buddies and saw some of them seriously injured. But I am glad that I had the opportunity to serve in
etnam with the Marines of Recon.They were great guys.
Also, one of the most rewarding things I was able to do while in Vetnam was to go on"Med-Caps,"where
we — a few marines and a couple corpsmen — would go out into the rural villages and provide medical
ACT.F Page 103 of 335
help to the villagers, most (ff not all) of whom probably never saw a doctor in their life. Also, when we
were in the rear, between patrols, we could oxasionally talk to South Vietnamese citizens—those with
whom we could communicate, they with their Pigeon English and us with our Pigeon Vlefiamese. They
were glad we were there, they wanted us to be there.and appreciated our help. lt is for reasons like these
the chances to visit with people of South Vietnam and the opporWnities to go out on Med-Caps—that I
am glad I had the oppartunity to serve in Vietnam.
But for those who may not have had even these sources of appreciation, I can only think that serving in a
war—combat setting—facing the dangers that go with , without feeling the support and encouragement
of the folks back home (and rather sensing a hostile anger toward the war), that can dnly leave a person
discouraged and dep essed, and less able to cope with the burdens of war.
I amglad that themilitary personnePwho served in World War 11, in the Korean War and in the wars in the
Middle East, did not have to contend with the hostile rejection of their efforts bytFie Amerioan Society.
However, I believe that what we were trying to do, thdugh not supported by e news media, aoademia,
politiciaris, Hollywood and too much of American Soaety, was the right thing to do.
This 6rings me to the Joint Vietnamese Memorial. If we cannot recognize the good folks of South
Vietnam, on whose behalf we foughtand sacrifices, or worse yet, if we hold grudges against them, that is
a continuation of the sorry sentiment too often expressed by American Society in the late 1980's and
eahy 1970's;.essentially saying that we sHould not have been the2, that our sacrifices weremeaningless
and our efforts were a waste of time, resources and personnel.
If for no otHer reason than to convey the message that the efforts and sacrifices of those who ser4ed and
faught in etnam — trying to help the peaple of South etnam — are valuable and deserving of
recognftion,the Memorial should be built.
1. As a Navy Field Combat Gorpsman [Medic]with the First Reconnaissance Battalion, Fieet
Marine Force [USMC], I was one of a six-man team inserted deep behind enemy lines, to track
and report enemy movements. At least 50% of our missions ended in a firefight as one's
reconnaissance ability ends when the enemy knows where you are.
2. I was able to resist the temptation to use illegal drugs while in Vietnam, but its use —the
use of marijuana,and heroine in particular—was so common, it was hard to noYnotice. Butnot all
who suffer PTSD used such drugs, and thus I believe that the use of such drugs was an attempt
by some to cope wifh.a deqressing situation. Those who were not there—or not in fhat s'ituation—
may not beable to appreciate how depressing itwould be to have your life on the line—.being in

Suhject: RE: Joint etnam Memorial
Frank:
Thank you ffir your comments.
But I feel that the attitude toward the Vietnam War is related to the People of Sauth Vietnam. If
we do not support the people ort whose behalf we were there, howcan we value the fact that we
were there in the first place?
Please know that this is something about which I feel strongly.
The reason I feel the way I do is because I believe (I truly do believe) that what the U.S. was
initially trying to do in South Vietnam was the right thing to do—supporting a nation with which we
were allied. Maybe we did not have to join with tfie South Vietnamese in their"civil wa' — or
pefiaps more correctty, their "war to separate themselv.es from the North,° but we did, and our
govemment sent troops irt to help them. Once we did that, we owed R to our troops to support
their mission and to try to succeed in theirefforts— rather than just having the num6er of troops.
being sent over there increase, and with a recurring practice of"advance then pull-back," seeing
tHe.number of dead and injured troops mount.
I believe that the folks who sent us over there in_the first place — those who passed the Gulf'of
Tankin Resolution —our representatives in Gongress— had no gumption or will to succeed once
opposition to the war surtaces back home. With the markeli increase of anG-war protests, and
anti-war celebrities, Congress was impotent or unwilling to do anything to support.the troops. That.
was how I saw things when I was overseas. Every member of my Recon Team and the other
teams in my Company wished "why couldn't we be frghtlng in a war like World War II, where the
people back home were supportive of what we were trying to do."
Added to that (and I will argue with anyone who says differently on this], most ofthe people of
South Viet Nam wanted us there and wanted our help. That is what they there telling us and thaY
is consistent with what we all saw after the U.S. Left — left South Vietnam in a lurch - vuifh the
almost immediate fall of South Vietnam, and fhaf is what we saw with the desperafion of the boat
people.
The folks who were saying at the time [incorrectly from my perspective] that "the South
vetnamese didn't want us there" were saying that because that supports their argument that we
should not be there, that we should end the war, that it was not a deserving war, etc. The
message wasthat it was wrong forus to be there:
Bluntly, the commentary that now indicates opposition to the South Vietnamese, especially that
which is hostile and sometimes laced wRh unfortunate vulgarity and profanity, to me re-states the
same sentiments—that the South Viefiamese didn't want us there, that we should not have been
there, that Vietnam was not a deserving war, and that it was tivrong for us to be there. Rather than
that being a healthy dialogue, to me, i[goes counter to the long and c6allenging efforts—positive
and valuable efforts—of our sooiety to correct the wrongful approaoh too often taken toward the
troops retuming from Vietnam. To me, recognizing that we were there to help the people of
South Vietnam validates our actions and our service. Dispaiaging the reason we were there—to
help the people of South Vietnam—invalidates our actions and devalues our service.
ACT.F Page 105 of 335
When these negative sentiments are coming from folks who served in Viefiam, I have to ask: Do
they feel that we-they - should not have been there7 Do they feel that thiswas an undeserving
wa(.+ Do they feel that serving in etnam is something that is disgraceful and samething about
which they should be ashamed?
I recognize that such sentiments exist—they certainly do by those belonging to ttfe"Veterans for
Peace.° But if these senUments belong to members of the VFW, I am confused. I understand that
4he mission and vision of the VFW is to faster camaraderie among U.S. veterans of oyerseas
conflicts; to advopte on behalf of all 4eterans, and to ensure that veterans are respected far their
service, and are recognized for the sacrifides they have.made on behalf of this great country.
Rather than seeing the rejection of South vetnamese [and even the rejection of the recent VFW
motion] as a healing measure, I su6mit.it is a reviVal of tfie negative sentiments voices so often
forty-plus years ago.
And when it comes from members of the VF1N, I feel it is all tfie more troubling —coming from a
source that should support the folks who served in Vietnam, and recognize and value their
service,not adding to the cridcism of their efforts or the value of their service.
I understand that Mike Sepal brought this point up, but there is (no longer) a South Vietnam,
different than any other war with which the UnRed States has ever been involved. 1 am confident
that there are memorials in other copntries (elated to U.S. help in war — e.g., The Manila
American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines, The Nortnandy American Cemetery and
Memorial in France and The U.S. Korean llVar Memorial in Busan, South Korea, to name just a
few. There is no such memorial in vefiam.There are not even any war memoriais that recognize
any cambatants in vefiam other than those who fought for North Vetnam. But even.this is a
different topic, though it is my answer as to why we needn't necessarily open the door for other
memorials{not, mind you, something that I would find objectionable).
Also,for what it is worth, I do not believe the fact that Olympia rejected a proposed memorial as a
reason for Aubum to do so. Olympia is quite a d'rffe2nt community from Auburn. Between the
two, I am glad I am in Aubum.
I know I went on for a while, but I'd like to talk to you about this sometime if we have the chanoe.
Thanks.

I have to teli you I really enjoyed your wmments about the Vietnam War. Actually you
seid it all, its not about the etnamese people that our members are objeating too, its the
war and all the consequences for American Veterans. Some can get pasYit like yourself
and open thier hearts up to allied vets, some cannot that is tFie dilemma that can divide
the ciry. I think building it on private property can be a win-win for the city. Those vets that
cannot make the leap you did can still come to Memorial Park without triggering feelings
that migM be harmful to our Vietnamese citizens and former allies. They will also avoid
fhe perception that their govemmerrt abandoned them once again:
Irt a private setting those who have made tFie transition and fully forgave the waNCountry
qn visR and serve as an example and point of light for others, aur vetnamese ailiance
can also have a place they can call home and share their healing spirit with those who
need it.
Once again Dan, thanks for your courageous and meaningful comments, thanks forali

SubJect: RE: Joint Vietnam Memorial
Frank:
This is a follow-up to our recent conversation regarding the proposed Vietnam
Veterans Memorial being considered forthe City of Aubum. You indicated that
you wanted feedback —wanted to know what the members of the Aubum VFW
Post thought about a proposed Vietnam Veteran's Memorial that jointly
recognized U.S. military troops and those of the military of South Vietnam, and
ACT.F Page 107 of 335
what the thoughts are of Post members regarding whether this Memorial ought to
recognize the South Vietnamese miiitary veterans along with U.S. military
veterans. Here are my thoughts:
As you know, I had the opportunity to serve with the U.S. Marine Corps in
Vietnam. I was a Na4y Field Combat Corpsman assigned to 1 st Reconnaissance
BaCalion out of Da Nang— not.too farfrom the 17th parallel, between North and
South Vietnam. The Marines of Recon, especially those of my team—Road Test,
were the greatest group of guys I'd everexpect to have served with — Marines
alongside whom I had the greatest honor of serving. In our patrol missions, we
would penetrate deep behind enemy lines to watch for enemy troop movemerrts,
and at least half of our patrols ended with a firefigM[when the enemy is shooGng
at you, your reconnaissance potential is severely curtailed]. As a Corpsman (a
Navy Medic), I went out on patrols, carried an M-16 arid my pack, antl did
everything my Marine teamrriates did, though when in a firefight, my first priority
was to attend ro those who were injured or in need of inedical help. [As en aside,
I never saw any atrocfties as depictetl in the movies. For that matter, once my
buddies were all accounted for and okay, I would try to aid wounded enemy
combatarrts—the folks who mirii tes before were shooting at us. This may seem
counter-inti itive, but we — my team — loaked at it this way: if bringing baCk a
wounded, but living, enemy soldier could help shorten the war, iYwas worth our
doing, and besides, it was the right thing to do.] But when'in the rear, in between
patrols, I had the opportunity to talk to citizens of South vetnam wkh my pigecn-
Vietnamese and tlieir pigeon-English [I must confess, theirs was better than
mine]. Those with whom I spoke were glad we were there. I also had the
occasional opportunity to meet up with military units of South Vietnam. In fact-I
recall on one instance when our team's patrol was extended—the time out in the
jungle was lengthened beyond what was initially planned to be. We here we were
flat out of food, and we were directed to the camp of a South etnamese
Popular Forces und (an allied miliGa unR) which was not too far away. They
willingly, graciously shared their food with us. It still amazes me to think how
delicious a simple meal of fish and rice tastes when one is really hungry.
If there is opposition to the:joint recogniGon proposal, as may be inferred by the
question you asked, I do not know the basis for that opposition. I do not believe
that a joint recognition would detracts from honoring U:S. Vietnam Veterans.
Rather, I believe R may help put things in perspective. I also do not know what
harm would stem from including in memorial recognition of the soldiers and
militia of South vefiam, citizens of vetnam, the people on whose behalf we
were engaged in the conflict of the Vetnam War, but from my perspecGve, those
on whose behalf we were acting were appreciative of our presence: I know from
reading the history of Vietnam that in the early 1950's, when Ho Chi Minh sought
to expel the French from Vietnam (part ofFrench Indochina), he aligned his anti-
French toroes with the Communist Chinese and Russians.When he did so;many
hundreds of thousands of people who resided in the northern portion of the
country fled Hanoi and thenorth, going to the south. ThaCsignificantly increased
the population of folks in the southem part of Vietnam who did not want to be
govemed by a communist controlled govemment, and the result of that exodus
was to divide the counUy into what laterbecame North and South Vetnam. You
may recall as well from history that in response to the Civil War that foilowed
between the divided etnam, a conflict that eventuaily drew the United States
into the fray, the United Nations endeavored to resolve the conflict between the
North and the South.The United Nations sought to impose a ten-year cease-fire,
temporarily) drawing a line at the 17th parallel, dividing North from South. Along
with that, the U.N. scheduled a reconciliation vote to be held in 10 years.
However, as the year 1964 (the end of the ten-year period) approached,
ACT.F Page 108 of 335
opposiGon to holding the unifying election grew among many people in the South
who did not want to be a part ofa communist nation. Their thinking was that with
the past ten years of independent, autonomous existence, the govemment of
South etnam was sufficienUy established and separate from North Viet Nam;
so that the election was not called foc That opposition to the election, in tum,
aggravated the fragile cease-fire, and civil war hostilities staited to increase.
This, in tum, prompted increased intervention by the United States military. (This
is not by any means a complete history of everything tFiat prompted U.S.
involvement in Vietnam, but for the purposes of explaining my
sentiments/response to your question, I believe it is sufficient.)
I know that there were same people in South Vietnam who were opposed to the
anti-communist govemment, and it may be that there were problems with the
South Vietnamese govemment, like there may be with many, if not most,
govemments. We all may recall the vivid images of Buddhis4 monks wFio set
themselves on fire to protest the (largely Christian supported) go4emment of
South etnam. But I submit,the Buddhists were not sportive of communist North
etnam as much as they were opposed to the Christian controlled govemmeM
of South Vfetnam. A testimony to that is that once the Americans left Vietnam
and the govemment of South Vietnam fell, no one suffered more at the hands of
the (now) communist govemment of Vietnam than the Buddhists. From my
perspective, they were expecting to be left alone by the communist govemment.
of Vietnam, perhaps in exchange for their opposition the go4emment of South
Vietnam. But that was not wliat the atheistic, communist govemment:had in
mind, once in control. And once in control, the communist govemment removed
the right and opportunity for the people to select their rulers, which. at least
existed to some extent prior to the fall of the South Vietnam govemment
As I see it, before the govemment of South Viefiam fell, South Vetnam had a
papulation which included many who were clea ly more aligned with the United
States and who had a desire not to be govemed by a cortimunist-conVolled
regime. There were, again, Buddhists who were opposetl. to the Christian
population and likewise opposed to a govemment (an elected goVemment)
largety comprised of the Cfiristian population. There were also, of course, those
less-politically motivated folks who were more concemed about their neut twwl of
rice than the politieal persuasions of their neighbors. However, even twenty years
after their exodus in the early 1950's, anti-communist serrtiments continued
among many of those who left the north ro escape communism. Those who did
not want to be under communist dominatlon were the people who wanted us
there; they were the people who wanted our help to awid that From my
perspective, many people in the United States, including memt ers of the
television news media, politicians in Washington D.C., protesters on college
campuses, hippies at the San Francisco Intemational Airport, and Hollywood
celebrities like Jane Fonda, missed the fact (or refused to believe) that these
people did not want to be communists and that they wanted us there to help
them. Their opposition to a communist controlled govemment would have been
obvious to anyone who would look at things objectively. For that matter, it has
been estimated that 65,000 Vietnamese were executed after the end of the war,
with one million being sent to prison/re-educaGon camps where an estimated
additional 165,000 died. But their opposition would have been most clearly
evident when one considers that many citizens of South Vietnam took the
absolutely desperate measure of getting into overcrowded vessels of
questionabte seaworthiness, leaving everybody and everything else behind, not
knowing where they would end up or even whether they would end up
someplace, in an effort to leave after the fall of South Vietnam. Unfortunately,
many such efForts ended in Vagedy. The United Nations estimates that hundreds
ACT.F Page 109 of 335
of thousands of people seeking to escape communist Vietnam perished because
of these efforts. Anybody who disputes this description, and their desperation,
should talk to one of these "etnamese boat people° many of whom eventually
made it to this Country (the United States is reported to have accepted over
800,000 of these reftigees). It is with anguish that l think how tragically America
failed ttie people of South etnam. They were not failed not tiy the military
troops who were trying to help them, but by tlie politicians who vacillated in
direcction and 2solve regarding tFie "conflicY' and hy those in the media and in
Hollywood, and others, wtio satiotaged the morale of the American troops, troops
who were Uying to do a task that tiecame impossible because it was unpopuiar
and unsupported back home.
To answer your question, I would support a Vietnam Veterans Memorial.that
recognizes our partners in the cor tlict in Southeast Asia and that.recogn¢es the
people who wanted us to be t ere. Recogni ing the people on whose behaff we
were acting helps show the legitimacy of our fiading been there. Ignoring ttiem
drews into question the purpose for our being over there. They deserve ouc
support;they deserved it ttien and deserve it now.
I am sending this to the endre VFW email list so that (1)others know whatJ think
making my position known—and (2)if there are other§who may have thoughts
in these regards, they may also wish to weigh in on your question.
Thank you.

Also, iYs important to note that all the Joint American-Vietnamese Waz Memorials in other U.S.
cities display both the American flag and the Republic of Vietnam(South Viemam)flag.
After the fall of Saigon on Apri130, 1975, the Vietnamese of South Vietnam(Republic of
Vietnam) lost both their counhy and theu flag,,so an integral part of all Joint American-
Viemamese War Memorials is to display the flags of both countries: United States of America/
Republic of Viemam(South Viemam).
Since the members of the American -Vietnamese Waz Memorial Alliance are U.S. citizens,
many of whom are Veterans of the Vietnam War, I believe the City of Aubura should grant their
request for the proposed Joint American-Vietnamese War Memorial in Veterans Memorial
Pazk. The putpose of this Joint Memorial is to honor and remember all those veterans who
fouglit side by side for freedom and democracy in Vietnam.

I support tLe joint American-Vietnamese memoriaL
Being a Combat Vietnam Veteran wfio served early 1966-1967 as a Grunt with the 4TH.Infantry
Division in Viemam , We had the full support of the ARVNTroops in battle with the NVRA,
VC, and others;to protect and drive back the invading forces durring the fight for&eedom of .
South Viemam. I fought along side of the ARVN"S
and they led us through the jungles of Vietnam inwhich they had been fighting in long before the
US Military came into tfie picture, I saw many ARVN and Americans fall (KIA)together in fim
fights with the enemy,we were the same ,in their Country doing what we could as a combined
unit to beat back the enemy, with out their loyal support this letter would not be written by
myself at this time.
On OCT, 07, 1967 my Brother Gary L. Holz-2/7 227 TH Air Cav. Helicopter Assult Team was
killed in action,he was a Huey Door Gunner,we were in Vietnam together when he died,he left
behind a Son "Martin Holz" and parents and myself.
I visit ihe Aubum Memorial Pazk often to just sit and remember Gary and my friends that never
came home,I also think of my ARVN friends that never made it out alive.
iACT.F Page 120 of 335
Some did get to the USA duough much sacrafice and very hard conditions. We should be able to
Honor all Troops that fought side by side durring the Vietnam conflict, I do not think they are
asking for to much to have a home to also honor theu loss's. I ask the City of Auburn to join in
the effort to add to Auburns reputation for Veterans ;all Veterans.
I thank you for time.

Submitted by Thom Stoddert at l
August 19,2Q13 Council meeting -I
audience participation
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this to explain the purpose Joint American-Vietnamese Alliance to aid you in your
evaluarion.All the reasons are too many to put in to a simple letter.It was started by a Vietnamese
Woman in appreciation for American-born veterans who served in her cobntry.l'he idea continued
with people from several cities in the Auburn Valley,who had worked other veteran projects im
Auburn.This resulted in the intentions/plans to place a monument in Auburn-which is a special
place for veterans.The Joint American-Vieuiamese Alliance was formed later to support these
people and this projecG
The cnondinent is intended to recognize the sacrifices and experiences of women,who are the least
recognized during events like this.Thus there is a woman/nurse depicted.
It goes further in that it acknowledges the experiences of inedical personnel,who were always
bystanders to the camage and were tasked to care for those who survived.There is little to no
recognition for them.I know this is true as I was a medic during Desert Storm.
The monument is to pmvide a place for members of our community and our allies within the
veteran community to remember and mourn lost loved ones and former comrades.This would
include those who survived and didn't.lmagine that Mt Tahoma National Eemetery or any
cemetery that contained your loved ones being bulldozed for out of spite or where your loved one's
final resting place has been paved over.That is how it is for us American-born and the Vietnamese
community.
A monument like this is a very difficult issue to face because of the painful memories,usually not
dealt with in a healthy manner.Projects like this have always faced resistance.In 1986 Sarah Bldm
and a Vietnamese woman,also a nurse,started a project to bring veterans together in Seat[le-they
were physically threatened.In the end it was brilliant success. Every Vietnam veteran I ever
spoken to said they could not face"The Wall"in DC or were left in tears. Now this is the most visited
site in the Washington Mall.This is true for the projects in California,Texas,and Kansas.
The Joint American-Vietnamese War Memorial is intended to bring added value in coming years to
City of Auburn and the veteran community with projects to teach,enhance the quality of life in
Auburn,and even add to commerce through tourism.However,its projected intenrions for the next
few years are-to tell the story of the cost of Freedom-Democracy-Self Determination.
The red and yellow flag of South Vietnam,that is intended to fly over the statues represent to the
Viemamese,their community,their heritage,and their lost homeland.It represents Freedom-
Democraty. For most American-born veterans the flag represents what we gave and Iost The
yellow and red ribbon I wore during the 23 years in the Army still means the most to me,more that
the Bronze Star;the Air Medal,or the Meritorious Service Medal (the highest peace time award).
Vehicles up and down Interstate- 5 have red and yellow bumper stickers,more so than any other
displayed.It is not a defunct symbol.
ACT.F Page 125 of 335
Even though there is a group of veterans opposing this project,we still receive noticesof support all
over the Pyget Sound region and from other States who are watching us.Much of the opposition
wasstarted as a result of one person's speech with ill informed informatipn.The recent Vieuiam
Veteran Appieciation Dinner brought veu.together from as far away as Arlington.The dinner
comprised 75%American-bom veterans and 25%Vietnamese-born,about one hundred guesu
coming after a short notice.Even though the dinner was intended for all vets,the opposition
refused for the most part to participate.
It is our belief that if everyone who has concerns over this projed instead contributes the
coneern.but,not in opposition,a greater project will be achieved.A win-wIn situatlon wlll
be gained for all veferans;the Cfty of Auburn,and the communities in the Puget Sound.This
has already been demonstrated by a member of the Americaa Legion outpost in t6e
Memorial Park much earlier this year.
We invite.all people to work togetherfor an effort of teaching and healing,just as the Traveling
Vietnam Memorial Wall does where ever it goesand will this Novembers.We askthatyou carefully
consider all sides and riiake an infoi med decision.Thank you.

I support t6e.joint American-Vietqamese memorial.
I am a former Marine sgt. and Vietnam vet. I was in Vietnam in'67-'68 (there for the Tet
Offensive of'68). Some of the greatest suppdrters we have had in this country are the
Vietnamese community. we fought side by side in Vietnam for a common causeand now I feel
that it is befitting that we have a joint memorial to celebrate our partnership both in Vietnam and
in the US. I have never been shown greater respect or appreciaUOn for my service in Viemam
than from Viehiamese soldiers. I think:it is tune for us to demonstrate the same respect to them.
We foaght in the same war for the same cause. They deserve the same recognition that the
American soldiers do.

In Support of the proposed American-Vietnamese War Memorial, Auburn, Washington
First let me introduce myself; I am LTC Craig H. Mandeville, USA(retired). Not that it matters in
thisdiscussion but I have two Silver Stars and four purple hearts, etc. Currently I hold the
position as President of the Vietnam War Memorial in Westminster, CA (501c3). I was just
elected after our founder and President Frank Fry passed away. Frank was a former mayor and
was serving on the Westminster City Council during the approval phase and justshy of10 years
after it was dedicated(31 April 2003). I mention Frenk, a WW 11 veteran, because of his
position on the council and his reputation within the Vietnamese—American community made
our efforts considerably easier. The memorial was Frank's dream to help welcome the 5outh
Vietnamese to ourcountry and show the pride for those Americans who had fought side byside
for a free Vietnam (since we had not been welcomed home properly).
I have been part of the committee from the beginning, over 15 years. I have listened to the
tapes of your city council and read the articles. It is des jar w for me. I have heard ali the
arguments for and against the memorial. However, I have heard nothing that we didn't hear 30
years ago. I might mention that the strongest arguments came from the VFW and American
Legion. I was startled. But they turned their backs on the retuming Vietnam Veteransas virell as
scoffed at the South Vietnamese veteran and here they were doing it again. Those residents
who presented theirarguments were persons in the community who were against the war
when it was going on and had not changed. In my opinion and supported by facts, many used
1ACT.F Page 128 of 335
the flag issue to cover up their prejudice against the Vietnamese. Others had a patriotic stance
that no other flag should be on our soil orfly neM to the US flag. BTW-the former mayor feit
that way in the beginning and now she is our strongest supporter.
After 4 years of discussions and 5 years of fundraising the city/county gave us 1 h acres. Those
same arguments about tax payer land, legal rights, up-keep, etc. all had been heard. The city
council (the city) and the committee made a contract about construdion timelines,ownership,
maintenance, etc. Thank goodness we had lawyers working pro-bono on our behalf.
The flag issue surfaced many times when yeterans groups and well-meaning patriotic
Americans questioned why the flags would be at the same height. I had to research the
regulations to show them that were corred. Also, we decided to put one taller American Flag
over the whole park that helped squelch that issue.
The flag of Free Vietnam (yeilow with three red stripes) seems to conjure up, for many, bad
feeling/memories and whether it should be in a park with other memorials. FYI-our park is
called the 5id Goldstein Park in memory of a local resident who won the DSC in Korea. I know
it is not quite the same as yours.
I wish I could speak before you on the importance of the flag of free Vietnam-its meaning in
history but more importantly for the Vietnamese-Americans(especially their veterans)and their
families as well as those advisors(like mysel who fought side by side with the South
Vietnamese for a free Vietnam.
Please try to put yourself in the place of the South Vietnamese who not only lost their struggle
for a free Vietnam but came here with nothing and lost everything to include their home. We
cannot understand how they feel but the one thing that reminds them of their home and a
hope for a free Vietnam is their flag. I can attest that.thousands of Vietnamese and their
families visit the memorial and they feel uplifted by the sight of their flag flying proudly next to
the US flag. It somewhat lessens the terrible memory of losing their country and allows history
to stay alive with their families.
I know when you lose your countryyou lose your flag. That is why the flags together are for a
time in history and place when there was a country and it will never come down in their hearts
and forsure in Westminster, CA.
For those American Vets who have bad feelings and memories about the South Vietnamese I
can assure you I know the feeling. On my first tour in 1967-68 I was with the 1015`Airborne and
my battery was overrun. It turns out that the RVNs who were providing us security let the bad
guys in. For sure, I left Vietnam on my first tour with a bitter taste. However, I was sent back to
Vietnam in 1972 and was assigned as an advisor to aSouth Vietnamese infantry regiment.
Needless to say I was not happy and did not trust them. I quickly learned that I could. One or
two bad memories should not be a judge of all. Aimost all American forces had been pulled out
of South Vietnam and I can tell you that my regiment helped break the siege in An Loc in 1972
and fought as well or better than the 3015t Airborne.
In communist Vietnam today there is no sign of the flag of South Vietnam. Not anywhere to
include their tezt books. They want to blank out the one symbol they fear the most. That flag
is why we as a country went to war and why we, asVietnam veterans are proud of what we did
to help keep that a free country.
It is appropriate to see the two flags together. When we approach such a memorial you are
reminded of the over 58,000 Americans, over 250,000 South Vietnamese and allies who died
fighting for a free Vietnam. For those who opposed the memorial here initially they are now
our biggest supporters It has caused healing and for many helped their issues with PTSD.
When we started this, I had veterans at the Boeing plant where I worked who wouldn't even
ZACT.F Page 129 of 335
talk to me but after one trip to see the memorial and talk about it,their adverse feelings
dissipated.
To me 'it is imperative that such a memorial welcomes the South Vietnamese to our shores who
are now Vietnamese.Americans and show our respect for their homeland,their-ancestry and
the hardships they have endured. But also,that flag gives them hope for a free Vietnam one
day.
If you have any questions orneed additional information please contad me anytime. Also, rriy
phone isJ14-655-6119. God Bless America!

Deaz Honorable Mayor and Commissioners,
We all know, in the Vietnam Waz, the American soldiers and Allied Forces foughtbravely side-
by-side with the Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam against the violent assault of tfie
communist of North Vietnam with the full supportpf entire communist bloc.
At the end of the war, the United States ofAmerica suffered over 58,000 casualties, over
300,000 soldiers wounded, and 1,600 still listed as Missing In Action. The Republic of Vietnam
suffered more than 250,000 casualries,more than 750,000 wounded,and more than 3 million
innocent civilians dead.
To lionor the brave soldiers who fought and died for the cause of freedom in the Viemam War,
the Viemamese-American communities of Wesrominster, California and Houston, Texas, etc...
have built a monument to honor them. We now have one in Orlando, a world famous city of the
great state of Florida: We hope that these monuments will also be seemas a symbol of thanks to
all our American families and friends who have lost their loved ones in the Vietnam War.
iACT.F Page 131 of 335
Because of these&onorable reasons,more and more monumenu will continue to be built across
the country.
We know that without the support of the honorable Mayorand Commissioners of the cities oiu
projects will never be done.. So we would like to ask your support the American- Vietnamese
Waz Memorial Alliance achieving their admirable goal of building a Memorial in your city.
Thank you for your support and Best Regazds

Mayor, City Councilmembers:
First of all, I am writing to you not as the Ciry Attorney but as a Vietnam veteran living arid working
in the Auburn community.I am writing to explain why I support the proposed Vietnam Veterans Waz
Memorial; something that I think would'fit within Auburn's Veterans Memorial Pazk.
I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman. However, I spent most of my time on active duty not with the
Navy,,but with the United States Marine Corps—as a field combat corpsman with the Marines. ['The
U.S.M.C. does not hav,e its own medical services, so that Nary corpsmen serve as the medics for
Marine units.] While in Vietnam, in 1970 - 1971, I had the opportunity to serye with a great group of
guys in the First Reconnaissance Battalion based out of Danang(near the demilitarized zone between
North and South Vietnam). I was proud to serve with my Mazines and proud to have served in
Vietnam. Nothing I did was any more significant or noteworthy than what anyone else in my unit
was doing. We all did what we could to do our job responsibly and properly. In Recon Battalion, we
would go deep behind enemy lines to watch for troop movements and the buildup of military forces.
Unfortunately, at least 50% of our patrols ended in a firefight. Our teams consisted of six or seven
men, so we were always outnumbered, but fortunately we were also relatively well equipped. For
example, even though I was the corpsman and I had the responsibility of carrying a fait amount of
medical geaz, depending upon what we were expecting to face on our patrols, I carried 6etween 25 to
40 M-16 magazines (each magazine holding 18 to 20 rounds) and I carried between 12 to 25 hand
grenades. At the start of each patrol, my packs generally weighed (starting weight) between 120 to
140 pounds.
I worked with a geat group of guys and I truly enjoyed the camaraderie 1 had with my teammates.
Howeyer, I also saw, we all saw, the tragic side of waz as well. I lost buddies and I saw many more
wounded. General William Tecumseh Sherman reportedly said "war is hell." I won't dispute that
characterization. However, perhaps like anyrvhere, there were good times and not-so-good times
among my experiences in the Vietnam War.
Among the good memories I have of Vietnam, some of the best, were from "med caps," where a
couple coipsman and a few Marines (when not out on patrol) would go into rural villages and
provide medical services to villagers who probably never saw a doctor in their life. The expressions
of appreciation we received from these individuals are something I will always cherish. Additionally,
I did occasionally have the opportunity to meet with and talk to citizens of South Vietnam, me with
my Pidgin Vietnamese, and they with their Pidgin English. From these conversations I know that
they appreciated our presence (the presence of U.S. military) and they appreciated our efforts to help
them preserve their freedom. Notwithstanding what the news media and Hollywood may have been
saying, people in South Vietnam did want us there. Hollywood and the news folks were wrong. The
South Vietnamese people wanted their freedom just as we, in this couniry, want our freedom and
woald resist efforts to curtail it. I think of the desperation with which the boat people of Vietnam left
that country, leaving everyone and everything behind in hopes of finding something better as an
illustration of the fact that they did not want to live under a communist goverriment. Bluntly, I am
saddened to think how quickly after we left the South Vietnamese govemment fell. But what did we
Page 1
ACT.F Page 134 of 335
expect? When we left, we pulled all our support. But the North Vietnamese still had the support of
China and Russia.
At the same time that America was being told by news pundits and Hollywood celebrities that the
people of South Vietnam did not want us there, I know that many of them tnily wanted us there and
appreciated our help. With that,the general attitude in much of America(at least&om what we heazd
and saw) was very Anti-Vietuam War. Along with that, the reception to serviceman returning from
Vietnam was very inhospitable and unwelcoming. Those who suggest that this was not the case aze
deluding themselves. While we were trying to do a task in Vietnam that was tough enough, the
attitude and actions of Americans protesting the war made it even tougher, and that contributing to a
significantly lower morale and a pervasive sense of discouragement. Every member of my team, as
well as those of other teanis in Recon Battalion, regularly commented that we wish we were fighting
in a waz where ffie people back home supported us like they did during World War II and the Korean
War.
For me and the folks with whom I served,knowing what was going on back home made it very tough
for us to go out in the field, facing enemy fire and contending with afl of the other problems that
necessarily accompany combat. We could not help but feel discouraged when we would heaz about
public protests and antiwar rallies, the closing down of college campuses, and all of the negative
stories appearing in news. On top of that, when I returned from overseas I was confronted along with
all of those who were retuming with me by hippies at the San Francisco Internationa4 Airport
carrying signs saying things like "End the War," Get Out of Vietnam," "Bring Our Troops Home:'
T'he signs were mild compared to the verbal welcome we received. This same group of hippies (I do
not know what else to call them),the ones who were holding the signs, were swearing at us retuming
serviceman, yelling at us, and calling us "murderers," "waz mongers," "baby killers" and the like.
Curiously,the woman carrying the sign that said "Bring Our Troops Home"'was the most vile,wlgaz
and profane among all those I saw at the airport. Not a particularly welcoming retum message! This
is not a unique experience, and it did not only occur on the date I arrived at the San Francisco
International Airport. T'he o cer in charge of the bus that transported us from Travis Air Force Base
to that airpoR wamed us about the picketers and advised us not to let them get to us. Along the same
lines, I had a buddy who, when he and his unit returned &om overseas, as they were being
transported by train en route to their next duty station, dozens of anti-waz protesters were laying
down on the train tracks, delaying the uain's departure for hours. Again, not a particularly welcome
return message!
These aze reasons I support the joint Viemam Veterans Memorial. It is not just for the South
Vietnamese, but is for all of those troops who fought in Vietnam and who were made to feel that
their efforts were unappreciated. It may be that this is not important to some, and it may be hazd for
veterans who fouglit in other theaters and in other wars to understand the discouragement that
accompanies the public protests and antiwaz activities that were regularly going on during the
Viemam War. But a Vietnam Veterans War Memorial that says thank you for your service is
valuable even to those who were less excited about going to Vietnam. And a memorial that identifies
a legitimate and valuable purpose for our presence in Vietnam is just as valuable, counteracting the
negative message we were receiving, that we were wasting our time and what we were doing was not
valuable or appreciated by the people on whose behalf we were doing it.
Page 2ACT.F Page 135 of 335
I do not lmow why some Vietnam veterans would be opposed to this memorial,.but if they were
drafted, it may be that they felt they were taken away from their regular lives, placed into, a military
service that was not of their particular choosing and sent to fight a war that was very unpopular back
home. If anything, that would amplify the negative feelings about what they were doing. They,
perhaps more than others ought to be thanked for their service. The Auburn Joint Viemam Veterans
Memorial should be built fora(I of those who fought in Vietnam, but perhaps particularly those who
were drafted and who had no choice in what tfiey did, and werealso never thanked for their service.
The tragedy of the lack of thanks, however, goes fw ther than even just that. I had buddies who died
in Vietnam. They were never be able to hear or see anything that would express appreciation for the
tough tasks that they did, that they had to do, in fighting the waz, trying to preserve freedom for
people of South Vietnam when that was the subject of so much animosity by the people back home.
They,too,ought to be thanked.
Some might suggest that the Vietnam Waz Memorial in Washington D.C. serves as an expression of
thanks. But I must point out that while it is good and right to recognize those who lost their lives,that
Memorial only lists the names of the dead.It does not contain any reference to loyalty, patriotism or
thanks for service.
I am a member of the Aubum VFW Post 1741, and although there has been a fair amount written by
and from members of the Post, I am, unfortunately, in the minority in that group, in that I support the
proposal for the joint Vietnam Veterans Memorial. But I am not alone in my position. At a Vie4nam
Veterans Dinner held at the holy Family Church on August l lth of this year, all veterans of the
Vietnam War who spoke were in favor of the Memorial.
I do not understand why veterans of other wazs would oppose the memorial. To my knowledge,no
other groups of veterans suffered the public hostility toward their waz effoRs that was commonplace
towazd the Vietnam War. It may be, however, that the opposition of these other veterans to the
proposed Joint Vietnam Veterans Memorial stems more from the fact that they would not want a
memorial built which would include a flag from Iraq or Afghanistan flying overa city park. I don't:
have a good answer for that, but that is not the same thing as a memorial to thank the Vietnam
veterans for their service and to state, publicly, that there was a good and valid purpose for their
presence.
If people are hesitant to support the Memorial because is would include the flag of(former) South
Viemam, I say seeing this flag fly next to the flag of the United States of America would visibly
acknowledge the validity of the purpose we were in Vietnam in the first place, to fight for the
freedom of the South Vietnamese. Every single American base in Vietnam flew both flags side-by-
side. This flag, now the Freedom and Heritage flag, acknowledges the Viefiamese refugee
community, the people whose freedom we sought to preserve, and re-affirms the noble cause for
which Americans and South Vietnamese fought, freedom.
T'h you.

i am writing on behalf of Holy Family Catholic Church, our Vietnamese Community and the
whole parish staff in support of the American-Vietnamese War Memorial proposai for the
Auburn Washington's Veterans Memorial park.
We at Holy Family feel strongly about the purpose of the Memorial - to honor American, South
Vietnamese and the allied soldiers of the Vietnam war ihrough memorials, displays, events and
educational activities that have been presented to you and the whole City Council. We believe
that this endeavor will strengthen the relationship with the communities here in the city of
Aubum.
The Memorial not only heals the wounds suffered by all of the Veterans of Auburn, but also is a
strong symbol of solidarity and a bridge to continued peace to the community. So we
wholeheartedly request you to approve and vote yes to this proposal.
Thank you in advance for bringing this proposal to reality for the people of Auburn.
Sincerely,
F. Joseph Nguyen

Charter
of the
Joint American and Vietnamese War Memorial Committee
Mission Statement
The Joint American Vietnamese War Memorial Committee is an organization comprised of
volunteers from several veterans’ communities. We are seeking to establish closer relationships
through partnering of veterans and families affected by the Vietnam War with a series of
projects intended to bring healing and education. The committee is to be a non-profit group
from the Seattle-Tacoma-Auburn communities, formed to establish a greater organization for
all veterans, families, organizations touched by that conflict.
The first effort is to be the building of memorial statue expressing gratitude to the sacrifices of
American and Vietnamese allied veterans now living in Washington State. Further projects and
social events are to be planed within the same guideline of uniting our communities bound
together as allies of that war, with the simple theme, “We are American and veterans.”

Monuments, Memorials and Structures to be placed on City of Auburn Property
Please describe your intended Project?
We propose to construct a memorial honoring American, South Vietnamese, and Allied soldiers of the
Vietnam War in Auburn’s Veterans Memorial Park.
The monument consists of a cement base and pedestal supporting a statue, two flag poles, and a plaque.
The statue features three figures: An American soldier, a South Vietnamese Soldier and a Vietnamese
nurse.
Two flagpoles display the US flag and the Vietnamese Freedom and Heritage flag. The US flag would
fly higher than the Freedom and Heritage flag in compliance with standard protocol.
Inscriptions in English and Vietnamese are etched in granite stone expressing gratitude to the American,
South Vietnamese, and Allied soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War. Between the inscriptions an
image of a mourning soldier is also etched in granite.
The memorial may also display interpretive and educational material relating to the Vietnam War etched
in enamel or another durable medium.
A picture of a scale model of the memorial is provided in ATTACHMENT A. Design specifications from
the approved City of Auburn building permit are provided in ATTACHMENTS B and C.
What is the address and location of your proposed project?
(please include map and area where monument, memorial or structure is to be placed)
The proposed site of the monument is Auburn’s Veterans Memorial Park, the entrance of which is on E
Street NE and Park Avenue. The monument would be placed in the park directly west of the William C.
Warren Building. Placement is shown on the aerial photograph included here as ATTACHMENT D.
How will your proposed Civic monument, memorial and building celebrate the history of the
Auburn community?
The monument commemorates the community’s involvement in the Vietnam War and its lasting impacts:
Between 1964 and 1973 hundreds of Auburn residents, thousands of Washington residents, and millions
of US residents served in Vietnam. Many were killed or wounded. The memorial provides a place for
families and friends to visit to honor their heroism and mourn their loss.
The Vietnam War divided Americans in a manner not seen since the Civil War. The community and
nation were painfully torn between the desire to defend freedom and democracy by stopping the spread
of Communism in Southeast Asia and the desire to stop the loss of life as the war dragged on and
casualties grew. Opposition to the war eventually led to withdrawal of American support for South
Vietnam in 1973 and collapse of South Vietnam to Communist forces in 1975. Anti-war sentiment in the
press and the community made returning veterans feel unappreciated. Many returning veterans faced
open hostility for their service, which made re-entry to civilian life more difficult. Many Vietnam
veterans are still dealing with bitter feelings and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For surviving
Vietnam veterans, the memorial provides a belated “Thank You.” It recognizes their sacrifices, honors
their service, and provides a place of healing and respect. The memorial helps heal the rift of pro-war and
anti-war opinion and unites the community in acknowledging that the Vietnam veterans deserve the same
recognition and respect as other veterans.
ACT.F Page 204 of 335
City of Auburn| 25 West Main Street | Auburn, WA 98001 | www.auburnwa.gov
The fall of South Vietnam to communism in 1975 began a flood or emigration from South Vietnam to
the US and other countries around the world. “Boat people” fled for their lives often perishing at sea.
South Vietnamese soldiers remaining in Vietnam faced years of imprisonment in communist “re-
education camps” while their families lost their property, livelihood, and freedoms. Waves of
immigrants came to Auburn and other US cities as South Vietnamese escaped with only their lives.
Later in the late 1980s and early 1990s, more immigrants came as part of the “Humanitarian Operation”
which allowed South Vietnamese soldiers to leave Vietnam legally with their families. Most Vietnamese
in Auburn are families and relatives of South Vietnamese soldiers. The proposed memorial
acknowledges Auburn’s Vietnamese refugee community and recognizes their heritage as defenders of
freedom and democracy. The memorial displays the Vietnamese Freedom and Heritage Flag (the yellow
flag with three red stripes) which was recognized by a Mayor’s proclamation in October 2010 as the
official flag of the Vietnamese-American community. Displaying this flag at the memorial respects their
history, restores their pride, and breaks down racial and cultural barriers to unify the Auburn community.
Auburn has a proud history of honoring veterans by: hosting the Veterans Day parade; hosting the
traveling Vietnam War “Wall that Heals” and dedicating a park to Veterans. The proposed memorial
builds on that tradition. Vietnam War veterans are the largest surviving group of veterans from any
foreign war. They are aging and dying off, often the result of war wounds, exposure to Agent Orange,
PTSD, and other war related afflictions. Now is the time to build a memorial to honor their sacrifices
and show community support before it is too late.
How will your project enhance the beauty of the area around it?
The memorial makes a beautiful addition to the Veterans Memorial Park. It is designed by a professional
engineer/architect and the design has been reviewed and approved by the City of Auburn Building
Department. A model of the proposed memorial is pictured in attachment A.
What is the significance of your project to potential visitors?
When complete, the memorial will be one of five joint memorials of its kind in the United States and the only
one in the Northwest. By recognizing the South Vietnamese and displaying their Freedom and Heritage flag,
the memorial goes beyond mourning the Vietnam War dead. It affirms the valid and noble purpose of the
Vietnam conflict: America’s support of aspirations for freedom and democracy around the world and
resistance to armed aggression. American Vietnam War veterans visiting the memorial will feel honored for
their service and will receive the thanks for their service that has been denied them for far too long. For
many, the memorial will be a place of healing and affirmation in their final years. For their children and
future generations the memorial provides a place to remember and honor Vietnam War veterans for their
service.
South Vietnamese visiting the memorial will feel understood and honored by their neighbors. Display of the
Freedom and Heritage flag shows that Americans recognize South Vietnamese as allies and brothers in arms
in the struggle for freedom and democracy. South Vietnamese will also come to the memorial to honor their
war dead and pass on their history and values to their American-born descendents.
How will your project positively impact the community?
The Auburn community benefits in many ways from the proposed memorial:
Giving over-due recognition and respect to Vietnam veterans and their families;
Restoring pride and honor South Vietnamese veterans and their families and helping the Vietnamese
refugee community feel accepted and understood in Auburn;
Bringing tourism to the city as the memorial attracts pilgrims from around the state and across the nation;
ACT.F Page 205 of 335
City of Auburn| 25 West Main Street | Auburn, WA 98001 | www.auburnwa.gov
Providing a place for commemorative events and gatherings; and
Helping to educate students and the community about history and the struggle for freedom and
democracy world-wide.
How will your project be funded? What is the plan for maintenance?
Construction of the memorial will be funded by private contributions and fundraising by the American-
Vietnamese War Memorial Alliance. Some labor for the construction will be donated at no cost. The
Alliance is also committed to supporting on-going maintenance of the memorial in cooperation with the City
of Auburn staff. Details of the maintenance responsibilities will be worked out with City officials.
The Mayor or his or her designee will provide initial screening of the proposal to ensure it complies
with the provisions of ACC 2.97. Please review Chapter 2.97.060 and 2.97.070 related to the review
process and criteria.

recommend approval of Ordinance No. 6489 to the City Council
Background Summary:
The City of Auburn adopted amendments to its Comprehensive Plan in 1995 in response to the
Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements, as amended. Since then the Auburn
Comprehensive Plan has been amended annually.
Comprehensive plan amendments can be initiated by the City of Auburn (city-initiated docketed items)
and by private citizens (privately-initiated). This year the city is initiating one map amendment and six
policy/text amendments. In addition, this year the city received two privately-initiated plan map
amendment applications.
This staff report and its recommendations address all of this year’s amendments:
• CPA13-0003, Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) Amendment CPM #1 (city initiated)
• CPA13-0003, Policy/Text (P/T) Amendments P/T # 1 through # 7 (city initiated)
• CPA13-0001, Comprehensive Plan Map CPM #2 (privately initiated - each separately)
• CPA13-0002 Comprehensive Plan Map CPM #3 (privately initiated - each separately)
Comprehensive plan amendments are initially reviewed during a public hearing process before the City of
Auburn Planning Commission, who then provides a recommendation to the City Council for final action.
City Council consideration and action on the amendments is limited to once a year, except in certain
specific instances, and generally occurs around the end of this year.

Comprehensive Plan Policy/Text Amendments
P/T #1
Incorporate Auburn School District Capital Facilities Plan 2013 through 2019, adopted by
School Board May 28, 2013 into the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan.
Discussion
The Auburn School District has provided the City with its annually updated Capital Facilities
Plan (CFP) covering from 2013-2019. The CFP was adopted by the Auburn School District
School Board on May 28, 2013 and has been subject to separate SEPA review and a
Determination of Non Significance (DNS). Information contained in the School District CFP
serves as the basis for the City’s collection of school impact fees on behalf of the school district.
The Planning Commission action is incorporation of the Auburn School District Capital Facilities
Plan into the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the Auburn School District’s updated Capital Facilities Plan indicates the District
is requesting a change in the fee obligations. The net fee obligation for single-family
dwellings is proposed to be $5,398.93, a decrease of $112.76 and the requested fee for
multiple-family dwellings is $3,387.84, an increase of $7.58. The actual impact fee that is
assessed is set by separate ordinance by the Auburn City Council.

Incorporate the City of Auburn’s 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2014-2019, into the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Discussion
A Capital Facilities Plan is one of the comprehensive plan elements required by the Washington
State Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A). The GMA requires that a capital facilities
plan include an inventory of existing capital facilities (showing locations and capacities), a
forecast of future needs for such capital facilities, proposed locations and capacities of new or
expanded capital facilities, and a minimum of a six-year plan to finance capital facilities with
identified sources of funding. The proposed City of Auburn 6-year Capital Facilities Plan 2014-
2019 satisfies the GMA requirements for a capital facilities element as part of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Each comprehensive plan prepared under the GMA must include a capital facilities plan
element. RCW 36.70A.070(3) of the GMA states the following:
A capital facilities plan element consisting of:
(a) An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the
locations and capacities of the capital facilities;
(b) a forecast of the future needs of such capital facilities;
(c) the proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities;

(d) at least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding
capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes; and
(e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of
meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan
element, and financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and
consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be included in the capital facilities plan
element.
A capital facility is a structure, street or utility system improvement, or other long-lasting major
asset, including land. Capital facilities are provided for public purposes. Capital facilities include,
but are not limited to, the following: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems, traffic signals, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks and
recreation facilities, and police and fire protection facilities. These capital facilities include
necessary ancillary and support facilities.
The memo from the Finance Department contained in the working notebook identifies the major
changes in the CFP from last year. The proposed City of Auburn 6-year Capital Facilities Plan
2014-2019 is incorporated by reference in the Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 5, Capital
Facilities.

Revise portions of three chapters of the City’s Comprehensive Plan for the same purpose of
revising the discussion of the emphasis of industrial uses.
Discussion
The requested policy/text amendments affect the following chapters and pages:
• Revise Chapter 3 – ‘Land Use’
o Revise pages 3-34 through 3-35 and Page 3-39 related to emphasis of industrial
uses.
• Revise Chapter 8 – ‘Economic Development’
o Revise pages 8-9 through 8-11 related to emphasis of industrial uses.
• Revise Chapter 14 – ‘Comprehensive Plan Map’
o Revise page 14-15 related to emphasis of industrial uses.
In 2005 the State of Washington adopted streamlined sales tax (SST) legislation. Prior to SST
legislation, sales tax collection in Washington State was based on the site of origin, rather than
on the site of destination. Under the SST tax structure, sales tax is collected at the site of
delivery rather than from those areas from which they were shipped. This change in tax
structure puts the City of Auburn at a disadvantage and negatively impacts its tax revenue.
Specifically, Auburn and similar cities have historically invested in infrastructure to support
businesses engaged in warehouse and distribution activities that ship goods to other
destinations. Another concern for Auburn and similar cities that have invested in infrastructure

include how the debt that has already been extended for such infrastructure will be paid and
how the loss of a significant source of revenue will affect bond ratings.
In November 2004 based on the then potential passage of SST, the Auburn City Council
approved Resolution No. 3782. Resolution No. 3782 outlines an approach and actions the City
will take related to land use planning, zoning and other matters in the event a streamlined sales
tax proposal or other similar proposals that change the tax structure are adopted. (See the copy
of Resolution #3782 contained in the back of the working notebook.)
Because of the State of Washington’s implementation of sales tax mitigation payments to cities
such as Auburn, the impact resulting from streamlined sales tax has been somewhat lessened.
However, the continued availability of these payments is not certain due in part to the State’s
current and anticipated fiscal challenges. In addition, the amount of payments does not equal
the total loss in revenue to the City. The City’s economic development strategies are dependent
upon the City being able to continue a strong public investment program in infrastructure and
services. The City’s ability to continue this public investment is contingent upon maintaining
solvent public revenue streams, particularly sales tax. Sales tax comprises the largest source of
monies to the City’s General Fund, approximately 30 percent in 2010. The City anticipates that
current and long-term fiscal challenges facing the State of Washington will likely results in the
dissolution of the current sales tax revenue mitigation program. The eventual loss of the
aforementioned sales tax revenue will directly and adversely affect the City’s ability to
adequately fund the capital infrastructure and services necessary to support the realization of
the City’s economic development strategies. This is especially applicable to industrial areas
supporting warehouse and distribution centers that are origin-based in nature.
In 2011, the City amended the City’s Comprehensive Plan to identify that warehouse and
distribution land uses are not a preferred long-term economic development and land use priority
for industrial zoned areas in the City due to the loss of sales tax revenue associated with the
State’s implementation of streamlined sales tax legislation, no substantive contribution to an
increase in per capita income for Auburn residents, no reduction in the tax burden of Auburn
residents, low employment densities, lower property values and land use inefficiencies.
These changes specified that increases in manufacturing and industrial land uses should be the
City’s preferred economic development and land use priority for industrial zoned areas of the
City currently dominated by warehouse and distribution land uses. These changes specified that
the City should revise current comprehensive policies and regulations to provide for and require
the conversion of existing warehouse and distribution land uses to manufacturing and industrial
land uses.
To implement the policy direction of the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning regulations affecting
industrial zoning districts was changed by Ordinance #6433 near the end of 2012. Among other
more minor changes, the Ordinance established that any new or expansion of existing
warehouse and distribution uses in the City would require the land use application process of a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Since the time of these comprehensive plan and zoning
changes, the City heard from a number of property owners and property management
companies responsible for warehouse and distribution facilities located in the City expressing
concern. The majority of concerns expressed were related to misunderstanding the effect of the
changes to pre-existing warehouse and distribution uses. However, as a result of these
comprehensive plan and zoning changes, the property owners, property managers and their
professional organizations of warehouse and distribution uses have supported and advocated

for the City with the state legislature. As a result of this support, it is appropriate to revise and
“soften” the policy direction of the Comprehensive Plan to promote and encourage through
incentives the transition from warehousing and distribution uses rather than require the
conversion of these uses. The proposed policy and text changes are proposed for this purpose.

2. This city-initiated proposal consists of changing the designation of the following three
contiguous properties:
• 3202 Auburn WY S, Parcel # 2815000020, 0.19 acres owned by John Tippins
• 3210 Auburn WY S, Parcel # 2815000010, 0.51 acres owned by Coni Orvis
• 3216 Auburn WY S, parcel # 2121059073, 1.06 acres owned by Khanh Tran
The combined area of the three subject parcels is approximately 1.76 acres.
3. All three sites border Auburn WY S, which is State Route 164 and classified by the City as a
“Principal Arterial” which prescribes a five-lane road with a minimum 87 feet of right-of-way.
The roadway is not currently constructed to this road standard.
4. The property is located within the King County portion of the City of Auburn. It was annexed
to the City in 1959 by Ordinance No. 1278.
5. The properties occur at an elevation of approximately 308 feet. The properties are similar in
elevation to the roadway Auburn WY S and relatively flat except near the northern boundary
which slopes downhill to the north.
6. Based on historic zoning maps, the subject properties were originally zoned R2, Single
Family Residential (6,000 square foot minimum lot size) and subsequently changed in 1987
to R1, Single Family Residential (8,000 square foot minimum lot size) under the old zoning
code classification system. Then in 2009 the City amended its zoning code and changed
the R1, Single Family Residential (8,0000 square foot minimum lot size) to R5, Residential
(Five (5) dwelling units per acre), the current designation of these properties.
7. The land use designations and zoning for the subject properties have not been re-evaluated
for many years and therefore have not considered the appropriateness of the land use
designations based on the increased development along the roadway corridor. The subject
properties have been impacted by added development, intensification of commercial uses
and increased traffic along the Auburn WY S corridor.
The corridor has been impacted by the development and expansions of the Muckleshoot
Casino and Bingo Hall and the construction and operation of the White River Amphitheater.
In the immediate vicinity, there has been further development on both sides of Auburn WY
S. Immediately to the east of the three subject properties, also on property zoned C1; Light
Commercial, is a veterinary hospital and pet grooming business. East of the veterinary
hospital is a drive through restaurant. And east of the drive through restaurant is a newer
multi-tenant commercial center.
8. Auburn WY S has experienced increases in traffic volumes. According to the City’s 1997
Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the year 1996 average daily vehicle trip volumes were
29,183 on Auburn WY S in this vicinity of Hemlock ST SE. According to the city’s current
Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the year 2009 average daily vehicle trips are 35,986 in
this same road segment; a 23% increase over a period of 13 years.
9. There are three City roadway improvement projects currently under design on the Auburn
WY S corridor between the Muckleshoot Plaza Drive (Tribal Casino area) and Hemlock ST
SE:

• CP1218 – Auburn Way South from Muckleshoot Plaza Drive to Dogwood ST SE,

• CP1118 – Auburn Way South from Dogwood ST SE to Fir ST SE, construction in
2014
• CP1119 – Auburn Way South from Fir ST SE to Hemlock ST SE, construction in
2014
The projects are all intended to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety while also reducing
congestion.
10. Project CP1119 includes the widening of Auburn Way South at Hemlock ST SE to include
two lanes in each direction and a center turn lane. Sidewalks will also be added to both
sides of the road. Currently at Hemlock ST SE, Auburn WY S is one lane in each direction
with a center turn lane and without sidewalks. Project CP1119 is funded by a grant from the
Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
(MIT), and the City of Auburn. Construction on CP1119 and CP1118 is scheduled to start in
early 2014 and last approximately 10 months.
11. Approximately 13 feet of additional right of way width is needed for project CP1119 on the
north side of Auburn Way South, east of Hemlock ST SE. in the vicinity of the subject
properties.
12. In terms of the status of the projects, the City is currently negotiating with property owners
for the acquisition of right-of-way needed for project CP1119. The City is also finalizing
design documents, working to obtain final design approvals from partners and stakeholders
(WSDOT and MIT). The City is also coordinating with Puget Sound Energy to underground
overhead power lines.

4. The Comprehensive Plan map amendment application seeks to change the designation of
existing developed site and two more recently acquired adjacent parcels (three (3) parcels
total) located south of SE 320th ST, between 108th and 110th AVE SE and totaling
approximately 18.65 acres (Parcel Nos. 1721059007, 1721059253 &1721059109) from
“Single Family Residential" to "Public and Quasi-Public" to facilitate subsequent rezoning to
accommodate future expansion of existing elder care facility.
5. As indicated by the Applicant’s narrative submitted with the application, the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment and related rezoning have been requested for the purpose of changing the
land use designation of the property to ensure the ability for future redevelopment. More
specifically, the comprehensive plan map amendments and rezones are requested for the
purpose of facilitating the site preparation and construction of a 36-bed, skilled nursing
facility as a building addition to the existing main building on the main parcel.
History of Existing Development
6. The following information on the existing Wesley Homes Lea Hill Senior Living Facility” is
derived primarily from the application materials. The approximately 18.38-acre campus is
accessed by a north-south private street (109th Place SE) extending south from SE 320th
Street leading to the site buildings. The central portion of the site contains trees, wetlands
and a stream that were preserved or enhanced at the time of development. The site
buildings, access, and parking areas were developed around these on-site resources.
“Eby Lodge”: The north central portion of the site contains the main, three-story building
containing approximately 128 residential apartments, dining room, and rooms for specific
activities, such as theater, game room, wood shop, chapel, beauty salon, and fitness center.
The building also contains underground parking and a secure wing for individuals living with
memory impairment.
“Village Homes” – The east side and south sides of the site are bordered by a row of 22
single story homes, primarily as duplexes, that provide an independent living situation.
“Brownstones”– The southwest corner of the site contains two, two-story buildings with
underground parking and approximately 12 apartment homes in each building.
7. In 2004, the Applicant, Kevin Anderson of Wesley Homes, submitted 3 applications to the
City:
a. A rezone application (File # REZ04-0004) was submitted to change from R1,
Single Family Residential (8,000 square foot minimum lot size) to R2, Single
Family Residential (6,000 square foot minimum lot size). The vicinity is also
subject to the Lea Hill zoning overlay whose main purpose is continuing some of
the King County development standards for previously platted property within this
annexed area. The rezone was needed because nursing homes/assisted living
uses were not allowed in the R1 zoning district but were allowed in the R2 zoning
district through a conditional use permit (CUP). The zoning designations have
subsequently changed by the city.
b. A Conditional Use permit application (File # CUP04-0004) was submitted since at
the time, the land use approval required to authorize nursing homes/assisted
living uses in the City’s R2, Single Family Residential (6,000 square foot
minimum lot size) zoning district. The Conditional Use Permit authorizes a

specific site plan and, in this case, also authorized a building height variance of
six feet to increase the height of the main building to 36 feet.
c. An environmental checklist application (File # SEP04-0020) was submitted for
the state–required analysis of the environmental impacts and city decision on the
proposed land use changes and the proposed development.
8. In response to the applications received in 2004, the City issued a Final Mitigated
Determination of Non-Significance (Final MDNS) (File # SEP04-0020) on August 31, 2004.
The Final MDNS contained seven conditions in order to reduce or avoid environmental
impacts. While not identified as part of the proposed action at the time, the environmental
checklist application acknowledged that a future phase to add a skilled nursing facility as
part of the project.
9. Also in response to the applications received in 2004, the City’s Hearing Examiner on
September 21 2004 conducted a public hearing on the on the rezone and conditional use
permit (and variance). After the hearing, the Hearing Examiner recommended approval to
the city Council. The City Council on November 15 2004 considered the request and
adopted Ordinance No. 5881 approving the rezone and Conditional Use Permit with five
conditions.
10. Construction permits were applied for in 2005 and the site development was generally
completed in 2006. At the time of construction, the two smaller parcels were not owned by
Wesley Homes and contained single family residences. The two smaller parcels were
subsequently acquired by Wesley Homes.
11. In 2009 the city amended its zoning code and changed the R1, Single Family Residential
(8,0000 square foot minimum lot size) to R5, Residential (Five (5) dwelling units per acre)
and changed the R2, Single Family Residential (8,0000 square foot minimum lot size) to the
R7, Residential (seven (7) dwelling units per acre) zoning designation. The City also
changed the set of uses allowed in the zoning districts such that the R7, Residential (Seven
(7) dwelling units per acre) zoning designation does not allow nursing homes/assisted living
facilities in this zoning district. By this change, the Wesley Home project was made a
legally-established use that is non-conforming to the use regulations.

13. The request seeks to change the designation of the existing developed site and two more
recently acquired adjacent parcels (three (3) parcels total) and totaling approximately 18.65
acres (Parcel Nos. 1721059007, 1721059253 &1721059109) from “Single Family
Residential" to "Public and Quasi-Public" to facilitate subsequent rezoning to accommodate
future expansion of existing assisted living facility. The parcels requested for change are
contiguous and generally rectangular in shape.
14. All three parcels border S 320th Street, which is classified by the city as a “Residential
Collector” street which prescribes either 2 or 3 lanes and a 55-foot wide right-of-way. Two
blocks to the east the same roadway classification changes to a “Minor Arterial" street which
prescribes a minimum 71-foot right-of-way. S. 320th Street along the project frontage is
generally improved on the south side of the road. The existing assisted living facility is also
bordered to the east by 110th Ave SE, which is classified as a “Local Residential” street
which prescribes 2 lanes within a 50-foot wide right-of-way. A private street of 108th
Avenue SE borders to the west.
15. The property is located within the King County portion of the City of Auburn and is located
within an area that was annexed to the city in the year 2000 by City ordinance No. 5346.
16. The 2 smaller parcels, to the north side of the assisted living facility have been zoned R1,
Single Family Residential (8,000 square foot minimum lot size) from annexation in 2000 until
the zoning was changed to R5 in 2009, as previously mentioned.
17. The eastern of the 2 smaller parcels (Parcel # 1721059109 – 10925 SE 320th St) contains
an existing single family house. The western of the 2 smaller parcels (Parcel # 1721059253
– 10815 SE 320th St) is vacant. The previous single family house has been removed.
Process and Criteria for Requested Amendment
18. The purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Plan document is to provide a policy basis for the
future zoning changes to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are
consistent as required by the following city code section:
“ACC 14.22.050 Conformance and consistency.
The zoning, land division and other development codes contained or referenced within
Auburn City Code shall be consistent with and implement the intent of the
comprehensive plan. Capital budget decisions shall be made in conformity with the
comprehensive plan. “
19. The City code provides certain criteria for decisions for comprehensive plan amendments
as follows:
“ACC 14.22.110 Decision criteria for plan amendments.
A. The comprehensive plan was developed and adopted after significant study and
public participation. The principles, goals, objectives and policies contained therein shall
be granted substantial weight when considering a proposed amendment. Therefore, the
burden of proof for justifying a proposed amendment rests with the applicant, who must
demonstrate that the request complies with and/or relates to the following decision
criteria:

1. The proposed change will further and be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent;
2. Whether the capacity to provide adequate services is diminished or
increased;
3. Assumptions upon which the comprehensive plan is based are found to
be invalid;
4. A determination of change or lack of change in conditions or
circumstances has occurred since the adoption of the latest amendment to the
specific section of the comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed
amendment;
5. If applicable, a determination that a question of consistency exists
between the comprehensive plan and Chapter 36.70A RCW, the countywide
planning policies for either King and/or Pierce County, as appropriate, and Vision
2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region.”
20. The first criterion is that the change must further and be consistent with the goals
and objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent.
The Comprehensive Plan contains the following policy guidance that relate to this
application. Chapter 14, Comprehensive Plan Map, starting at page 14-8 provides the
following purpose and description of the ‘Public and Quasi-Public” Comprehensive Plan
designation:
“Public and Quasi-Public
Purpose: To designate areas of significant size needed to provide public and
quasi-public services to the community.
Description: This category includes those areas which are reserved for public
or quasi-public uses of a developed character. It is intended to include those of a
significant extent, and not those smaller public uses which are consistent with
and may be included in another designation. Public uses of an industrial
character, such as the General Services Administration, are included in the
industrial designation. Streets, utilities and other public activities supporting
other uses are not considered separate uses and are not so mapped. This
designation includes large churches, private schools and similar uses of a quasi-
public character. Developed parks are also designated under this category.
Compatible Uses: Uses more appropriately designated under another category
should not be designated under this category, irrespective of ownership.
Industrial and commercial uses which are affiliated with and managed by
educational institutions for vocational educational purposes may be classified as
a public use and permitted on a conditional basis.
Criteria for Designation: Designation of these areas should be consistent with
the character of adjacent uses.
Appropriate Implementation: This designation will generally be implemented
by three zones:

1) P-1 (Public Use) District provides for the location and development of
public uses that serve the cultural, educational, recreational and public
service needs of the community.
2) I (Institutional Use) District provides for similar uses, but includes schools
and typically allows a much broader list of uses.
3) LF (Landing Field) District provides for the operation and management of
the Auburn Municipal Airport.
The designation can also be implemented as a conditional use under various
zones. Approval of these types of uses (and open space uses), not individually
designated on the Plan Map, under a conditional use permit or rezone consistent
with or related to adjacent zoning, shall not be considered inconsistent with the
designations under this Plan.” (Emphasis added)
The request to change the designation of the 3 parcels to “Public and Quasi-Public” is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The properties are developed with or adjacent to
properties with land uses of a quasi-public character (the assisted living facility).
For comparison, Chapter 14, “Comprehensive Plan Map”, starting at page 14-3 provides the
following purpose and description of the ‘Single Family Residential’ Comprehensive Plan
designation:
“Single Family
Purpose: To designate and protect areas for predominantly single family
dwellings.
Description: This category includes those areas reserved primarily for single
family dwellings. Implementing regulations should provide for an appropriate
range of lot sizes, clustered and mixed housing types as part of a planned
development.
Compatible Uses: Single family residences and uses that serve or support
residential development, such as schools, daycare centers, churches and parks
shall be considered appropriate and may be permitted on a conditional basis.
Other public buildings and semi-public uses may be permitted if designed and
laid out in a manner which enhances rather than detracts from the residential
character of the area. In siting such uses, however, special care shall be given
to ensuring adequate parking, landscaping, and traffic circulation with a minimum
of conflict with residential uses. Uses which generate significant traffic (such as
large churches) should only locate on developed arterials in areas zoned for
institutional uses.
Intrusion of industrial uses into any of these single family areas shall be
prohibited. Only very limited commercial uses such as home occupations or
strictly limited appropriate conditional uses can be allowed.
Planned developments should be favorably considered in these designations in
order to allow optimal flexibility. In providing such flexibility, the emphasis should
be on small alley-loaded lot single family development, limited low density
ACT.L Page 239 of 335

Page 22 of 36
multifamily housing and a mixture of types, and design diversity should be
sought. Except where conditional use permits have been previously granted,
alternate structure types should not exceed more than 40 percent of the units,
and alternative structures should in most cases contain no more than four
dwelling units each. However, where substantial offsetting community benefits
can be identified, such alternative structures may be allowed to contain more
than three units each.
Criteria for Designation: Areas suitable for this designation include those areas
designated in goals and policies of this Plan as single family areas. Consistent
with those policies, areas within the Community Serving Area of the City suitable
for this category should be reserved for these uses. This designation should also
be applied to areas adjacent to lower density residential plan designations.
Considerations Against Applying this Designation: This designation would
not be generally appropriate (although exceptions may exist) in the following
areas:
1. Areas with high volumes of through traffic.
2. Areas developed in or more appropriate under the Plan
policies for another use.
3. Areas within the Region Serving Area of the City.
Appropriate Implementation: Three zones may be used to implement this
category:
1) R-1: Permits one dwelling unit per net acre. This zone is primarily
applied to areas designated as urban separators under the King County
Countywide Planning Policies where rezones from existing densities (typically
one unit per acre) are not allowed for a 20 year period and/or to areas with
significant environmental constraints. It may also be applied in limited instances
to areas where greater densities are limited by environmental constraints.
2) R-5: Permits 4-5 dwelling units per net acre. This zone is intended to
create a living environment of optimum standards for single family dwellings.
Duplexes are conditionally permitted subject to meeting infill residential design
standards. It is intended to be applied to the relatively undeveloped portions of
the City, areas where existing development patterns are consistent with the
density and upland areas where greater densities would strain the transportation
system.
3) R-7: Permits 5-7 dwelling units per net acre. This zone provides for
relatively small lot sizes. It may be applied to the older neighborhoods of the City
and reflects the typically smaller lot sizes found there. Application of this zone
should be considered for areas considered appropriate for a mix of housing
types, particularly in some of the Special Planning Areas as discussed below.

The current designation of the 3 parcels is ‘Single Family Residential’ and is proposed to
change to “Public and Quasi-Public’. The properties are either: vacant, developed with single
family residence, or developed with an assisted living facility. The existing character as an
assisted living facility more closely matches the proposed designation. This change in
designation is appropriate in proximity to the surrounding areas that are designated “Single
Family Residential’. The request to change, does not adversely affect the integrity of the
remaining area of Single Family Residential’.
21. Also, in Chapter 3, Land Use, the Comprehensive Plan document provides various policies
which relate to this request. Several policies promote additional residential development in
order to meet community and growth management goals. The following excerpted policies
relate to this requested change to “Public and Quasi-Public”:
“Chapter 3, Land Use
GOAL 7. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
To emphasize housing development at single family densities, in order to reestablish a
mix of housing types appropriate for a family oriented community, while recognizing the
need and desire for both lower density and higher density housing appropriately located
to meet the housing needs of all members of the community.
Objective 7.1. To establish a system of residential densities that accommodates a range
of housing choices appropriate for the city.
Policies:
LU-13 The City should promote the provision, preservation and maintenance of
adequate housing for the city's residents by encouraging a balanced mix of housing
types and values appropriate to the income levels and lifestyles of area residents.
Auburn has always been willing to accept its "fair share" of low and moderate cost
housing opportunities. However, this has translated into a great disparity in Puget Sound
communities with cities such as Auburn receiving more of these types of housing than
other comparable communities. This has had impacts in terms of the costs of meeting
human service needs as well as some poorly maintained multifamily properties which
have caused a variety of problems. Auburn will work to insure that housing units are
equitably distributed across the region in terms of both physical location and cost.”
(Emphasis added)
While the request seeks to change the designation of the property to “Public and Quasi-Public’
when developed as an assisted living campus, Goal 7 and Policy LU-13 of the Comprehensive
Plan recognizes the important role that these quasi-public facilities such as assisted living
facilities contribute to residential neighborhoods. The proposal fulfils the goal of providing a
range of housing styles so that residents can remain in the community as they advance in age
and not have to go outside the community to find suitable housing for their life stage. Also, this
change facilitates the existing assisted living facility -- the neighborhood already contains this
land use--it is not a new land use for the vicinity.

“GOAL 12. URBAN REDEVELOPMENT
To encourage redevelopment of underutilized areas to reduce sprawl and take full
advantage of the City's investment in existing infrastructure.
Objective: 12.1 To facilitate infill development.
Policies:
LU-117 Encourage well designed infill and redevelopment projects to fully utilize
previous investment in existing infrastructure in the single family residential, moderate
density residential, and high density residential designated areas of the City. “(Emphasis
added)
The requested change is to facilitate further development of the assisted living facility and build
upon the significant existing capital investment in the site. Redevelopment of the 2 smaller sites
capitalizes on the existing location that is appropriate and accessible and serves the
neighborhood and community. The assisted living facility is bordered by a “residential collector”
street (S 320th ST) and a “local residential” street (110th Ave SE).
22. The second decision criterion is that the comprehensive plan amendment must not
diminish or increase the ability to provide adequate services.
The proposed application for a change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning has
been reviewed by the Fire Agency and the City’s Utilities and Traffic divisions. Based on
these reviews, the change would not adversely affect the provision of services.
The proposal is a non-project action; the proposed application is for a change in the
comprehensive plan designation and zoning. The proposed “project action” for physical
development of the assisted living facility has been addressed in the city’s environmental
review and final Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS).
The proposed change if approved, will not affect the ability to provide adequate services. As
noted by the Applicant in the “Written Statement in Support of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment”, the existing site is served by adequate public services the change is not
expected to result in an increased demand that will negatively diminish services or the ability
to provide services.
As typical with development in the City, the infrastructure improvements needed to serve the
development would be the responsibility of the future development. At the time of
development, adequate services are required to be provided concurrent with the
development in order for the project to be authorized. So, it is not anticipated that approval
of the request negatively affects provision of services.
23. The third decision criterion is that the assumptions on which the comprehensive
plan is based are found to be invalid.
While the policies of the Comprehensive Plan are not invalid, a change to the mapped
configuration of the land use designations of this request is logical (a change to Map No.
14.1). The 3 parcels are surrounded by areas designated: “Single Family Residential”. So

Policy/Text Amendments
Date: November 20, 2013
Page 25 of 36
while the proposed change represents a change from the surrounding areas, it is of a use
and scale that warrants a change to the comprehensive plan map beyond the property
boundaries. While not “invalid” the change more accurately reflects the current
development pattern and reduces potential conflicts and provides more logical boundaries
as they are proposed to be separated by public rights-of-way.
24. The fourth decision criterion is that there has been a change or lack of change in
conditions or circumstances has occurred since the adoption of the latest
amendment to the comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed
amendment.
Changes that have occurred since the time of adoption of the city’s GMA compliant
Comprehensive Plan in 1995 is that Wesley Homes has developed the assisted living facility
and the city has implemented new zoning standards. Another change is that Wesley Homes
has acquired the two adjacent properties abutting the existing parcel.
25. The fifth decision criterion is that the change must be determined to be consistent
with the Growth Management Act (GMA)(RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning
Policies of the relevant county and “Vision 2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy
for the Puget Sound Region”.
The change if approved would continue to be consistent with the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of King County and “Vision 2040: Growth
and Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region”. The proposal is consistent
because enhances the general goal of providing public facilities concurrently with the needs
of education and residential development.
26. The sixth decision criterion, applies only to changes of the mapped land use
designation of a specific property, the applicant must demonstrate one of the
following:
a. The current land use designation was clearly made in error or due to an
oversight;
b. The proposed land use designation is adjacent to property having a similar
or compatible designation, or other conditions are present to ensure
compatibility with surrounding properties;
c. There has been a change in conditions since the current land use
designation came into effect. (Ord. 6172 § 1, 2008.)
As noted in response to other criteria above, growth and development has continued within
Lea Hill area of Auburn. The development has included the development of the Wesley
Homes Lea Hill Assisted living facility that was not contemplated in 1995 when the city
adopted it GMA-compliant Comprehensive Plan. Another change, is the city has
implemented new zoning standards that make assisted living facility uses not allowed in the
R7, Residential (seven (7) dwelling units per acre) zoning designation. Another change is
that Wesley Homes Lea Hill LLC has acquired the two adjacent properties abutting their
existing parcel since the time of establishment of the comprehensive plan designations and
Wesley Homes Lea Hill LLC seeks to make uniform the designations of all their parcels.
Based on these, there have been changes which meet the criteria of Item b.

CPM #3 – CPA13-0002, Fonpee LLC and Stanberry Map Amendment
1. The applicant submitted a Comprehensive Plan map amendment application on June 7,
2013 by the submittal deadline of June 7, 2013.
2. The application was submitted by Mike Cotter, President of Fonpee LLC, as owner of one
property and as an agent on behalf of the other property owner, Edwin Stanberry. The
property owners are co-applicants.
3. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment Application, the Applicants also
submitted an environmental checklist application (File No. SEP13-0019) and a rezone
application (File No. REZ13-0002).
4. The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment application seeks to change the designation of
two adjacent parcels located at the northwest corner of 37th ST NW and W Valley Hwy N.
The northern property (3719 W Valley Hwy N (Parcel # 0221049077) is owned by Edwin
Stanberry. The southern property (3705 W Valley Hwy N (Parcel # 0221049098) is owned
by Fonpee LLC.
5. Both properties have split comprehensive plan designations; the western portion of each is
“Light Industrial”; the eastern part is “Heavy Commercial”. The combined area of change
from 'Heavy Commercial ' to 'Light Industrial' is approximately 2.10 acres.
6. As indicated by the Applicant’s narrative submitted with the application, the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment and related rezoning have been requested for the purpose of bringing the
entirety of both properties under the same land use designation to ensure the ability for
future redevelopment. Fonpee LLC, operating as Omega USA Company is a “building
contractor” business and has plans for further development of the southern lot to include a
future office building and a future building for storage of vehicles. While this further future
development is capable of being done under the C3, Heavy Commercial (office uses and
parking structures are allowed) it is complicated by being subject to different development
standards. Mr. Stanberry does not have specific plans for redevelopment of his property.

Process and Criteria for Requested Amendment
8. The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment application seeks to change the designation of
two adjacent parcels; the northern property (3719 W Valley Hwy N (Parcel # 0221049077))
owned by Edwin Stanberry consists of 3.29-acres. The southern property (3705 W Valley
Hwy N (Parcel # 0221049098)) owned by Fonpee LLC consists of 5.59 acres.
9. Due to the split designation, the portion of both properties requested for change is
approximately 2.10 acres.
10. The two properties are roughly rectangular in shape with the longer axis oriented east-west
and measuring approximately 1,081 feet.
11. The northern property the northern property (3719 W Valley Hwy N (Parcel # 0221049077)
owned by Edwin Stanberry contains a single family house. The southern property (3705 W
Valley Hwy N (Parcel # 0221049098)) owned by Fonpee LLC site is developed with three
buildings as a building contractor.
12. Both sites are bordered to the east by developed W. Valley Highway N. which is classified
by the City as a “Principal Arterial” which prescribes a five-lane road with 87 feet of right-of-
way. The southern property borders 37th St NW , which is classified as a “Residential
Collector” street which prescribes either 2 or 3 lanes and a 55-foot wide right-of-way.
13. The property is located within the King County portion of the City of Auburn. It was annexed
to the City in 1971 by Ordinance No. 2605.
14. Based on historic zoning maps, the subject properties were zoned UNCL, Unclassified from
the time of annexation up until 1987 and then were changed to the split designations of M1,
Light Industrial and C3, Heavy Commercial. The zoning boundaries originally followed
parcel boundaries that have since been modified or eliminated through combining lots.
15. The properties are part of the transition in grade from the western hillside to the valley floor
and a north-south aligned stream borders the western boundary of both properties.
16. As indicated by the Applicants in the narrative submitted with the application, the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and related rezoning have been requested for the
purpose of changing the land use designation of the property to ensure a consistent
designation across each site for future redevelopment.
17. The purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Plan document is to provide a policy basis for the
future zoning changes to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are
consistent as required by the following city code section:
“ACC 14.22.050 Conformance and consistency.
The zoning, land division and other development codes contained or referenced within
Auburn City Code shall be consistent with and implement the intent of the
comprehensive plan. Capital budget decisions shall be made in conformity with the
comprehensive plan. “
18. The City code provides certain criteria for decisions for comprehensive plan amendments as
follows:

19. The first criterion is that the change must further and be consistent with the goals
and objectives of the plan and the plan will remain internally consistent.
The Comprehensive Plan contains policy guidance that relate to this application. Chapter
14, Comprehensive Plan Map, starting at page 14-14 provides the following purpose and
description of the ‘Light Industrial’ Comprehensive Plan designation:
“Light Industrial
Purpose: To reserve quality industrial lands for activities that implement the City's
economic development goals and policies.
Description: This category is intended to accommodate a wide range of industrial and
commercial uses. This designation is intended to provide a location attractive for
manufacturing, processing and assembling land use activities that benefit from quality
surroundings and appropriate commercial retail uses that benefit from the location,
access, physical configuration, building types of these properties. It is distinguished
from heavier industrial uses by means of performance criteria. All significant activities
shall take place inside buildings, and the processing or storage of hazardous materials
shall be strictly controlled and permitted only as an incidental part of another use. The
siting and design of industrial buildings shall be of an "industrial or business park"
character. Certain residential uses may be permitted, especially in industrial areas that
have been established to promote a business park environment that complements
environmental features, and/or if development standards are developed to promote
compatibility between residential and other non-residential land uses.
Compatible Uses: A wide range of industrial and heavy commercial uses may be
permitted, subject to performance standards. These uses include indoor manufacturing,
processing and assembling of materials from previously prepared or raw materials and
ancillary and necessary warehousing and distribution of finished goods associated with

manufacturing and industrial uses. Certain residential uses may be permitted if
development standards are established to promote compatibility between residential and
other non-residential land uses.
Outside storage shall be permitted only subject to performance criteria addressing its
quantity and location to ensure it is compatible with adjacent uses and so that such
storage would not detract from the potential use of the area for light industry. In all
cases such storage shall be extensively screened. In the Environmental Park District
that implements the “Light Industrial” plan map designation; outdoor storage will be
strictly limited to promote compatibility with adjacent environmental land uses. Uses
involving substantial storage or processing of hazardous materials as well as substantial
emissions should not be permitted in these areas. A wide range of commercial activities
may be allowed to provide increased opportunities for sales tax revenue.
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Auburn Yard located within the Railroad
Special Plan Area is considered a compatible use at its current level of usage (as of
August 14, 1996). It is not bound by the policies concerning outside storage under the
existing light industrial designation as it was an existing use prior to the development of
this policy. Should BNSF decide to reactivate its applications to upgrade the yard to an
intermodal facility, the proposal will be subject to the essential public facility siting
process as defined in the Capital Facilities Element (Chapter 5).
To ensure the City’s long-term ability to invest in public infrastructure and services
remains viable, the City must pursue implementation of policies that incentivize the
transition of current and future land uses in its industrial zones away from distribution
and warehouse uses. The City believes that manufacturing and industrial land uses
should over time largely replace warehouse and distribution land uses currently existing
in the City and that any future warehouse and distribution uses should be ancillary to
and necessary for the conduct of manufacturing and industrial uses. Manufacturing and
industrial uses are more appropriate and beneficial through higher and better use of the
land, enhanced employment densities, increased property tax revenues and potential
on-site sales tax revenue generation for receipt of materials and other goods and
services.
The establishment of regulations and incentives that create a basis for increased
commercial retail uses in the City’s industrial zoning districts will provide greater
opportunity for the generation of sales tax revenue in the City. Increased sales tax
revenue will positively impact the City’s continued ability to maintain and operate a
strong public investment program in infrastructure and services. Commercial retail uses
will in turn be attracted to and benefit from the location, access, physical configuration
and building types of industrial zoned properties.
Criteria for Designation: This designation should be applied to a majority of the
Region Serving Area designated under this Plan. It is particularly appropriate for
industrial land within high visibility corridors. This category should separate heavy
industrial areas from other uses.
Considerations Against Applying this Designation: Within the Community Serving
Area, this designation should only be applied to sites now developed as light industrial

sites. Industrial sites along rail corridors are generally more appropriate for heavier
industrial uses, unless in high visibility corridors.
Appropriate Implementation: This designation is implemented by the Light Industrial
(M-1), Environmental Park (EP) or Business Park (BP) zone.” (Emphasis added)
Consistent with this discussion in the Comprehensive Plan, the properties are adjacent to
other properties designated “Light Industrial” by the Comprehensive Plan (on-site and off-
site) and adjacent to properties already developed with light industrial uses. The site is
separated by hillside from residential uses. The site is also located in the regional-serving
area. The location of the properties is ideally suited for light-industrial uses. The property
can be served with high capacity and high quality public services and facilities. The
southern parcel has recently completed street frontage improvements. The properties have
frontage and access to West Valley Hwy N classified as a “principal arterial” in the City’s
Comprehensive Transportation Plan or 37th Street NW. The location provides proximity to
W Valley Hwy N with access to SR 167 at S 277th Street and to SR 18.
20. For comparison, Chapter 14, Comprehensive Plan Map, starting at page 14-11 provides the
following purpose and description of the ‘Heavy Commercial’ Comprehensive Plan
designation:
“Heavy Commercial
Purpose: To provide automobile oriented commercial areas to meet both the local and
regional need for such services.
Description: This category is intended to accommodate uses which are oriented to
automobiles either as the mode or target of providing the commercial service. The
category would also accommodate a wide range of heavier commercial uses involving
extensive storage or heavy vehicular movement.
Compatible Uses: A wide variety of commercial services oriented to automobiles are
appropriate within this category. This includes automobile sales and service, drive in
restaurant or other drive in commercial business, convenience stores, etc. Since these
uses are also compatible with heavier commercial uses, lumber yards, small scale
warehousing, contractor yards and similar heavy commercial uses are appropriate in this
designation.
Criteria for Designation: This designation should only be applied to areas which are
highly accessible to automobiles along major arterials. Generally this category would
characterize commercial strips. This zone is appropriate for the intersections of heavily
traveled arterials, even if adjacent sites are best suited for another commercial
designation.
Considerations Against Applying this Designation: Areas which conflict with single
family residential areas or areas more suited for other uses. Whenever possible this
category should be separated from all uses by extensive buffering.
Appropriate Implementation: This category is implemented by the C-3 Heavy
Commercial District and the C-4, Mixed Use Commercial District.”

Due to the shape of each property with the narrow frontage bordering W Valley Hwy N and
longer axis east-west, the shape of the property is not readily conducive to commercial
development over the entire parcel. That was likely the explanation for only the eastern portion
begin designated “Heavy Commercial”. The split zoning makes it difficult for a property to
owner to develop the property in its entirety with a single use or enterprise. As a result, the
requested change is appropriate.
Also, in Chapter 3, “Land Use”, the Comprehensive Plan document provides various policies
which address light industrial development in order to meet community and growth management
goals. The following excerpted policies starting on page 3-35 relate to this request:
“GOAL 11. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
To provide for, establish and maintain a balance of industrial uses that respond to local
and regional needs and enhance the city's image through optimal siting and location,
taking into consideration tax policy impacts of streamlined sales tax and/or other similar
legislation.
Type of Industrial Uses
There is a wide variety of possible industrial uses that could be sited in Auburn. As with
the mix of residential uses, the mix of industry also affects the image of the city. The
regional image of the city is that of an industrial suburb with an emphasis on heavy
industry. This image is quite apparent as one travels along Highway 167 where there is
an almost unending view of high-bay warehouse buildings.
Different types of industrial areas should be separated since some types of industrial
activities conflict with other industrial activities (especially those of a more desirable
character). Such separation should be based primarily on performance standards.
Location of Industrial Uses
Before the adoption of the 1986 Comprehensive Plan, there had been little separation of
various types of industrial uses. At the time, there was no well understood policy basis
regarding the separation of different types of industrial uses and some areas very
suitable for high quality light industrial uses were committed to heavier uses. High
visibility corridors developed with a heavier industrial character and established a heavy
industry image for the city. The Plan provides clear distinction between different
industrial uses. It also reserves areas for light industrial uses.
Objective 11.3. To reserve areas appropriate for industrial development.
Policies:
LU-103 Any significant industrial activity shall be limited to the designated Region
Serving Area of the city (see Map 3.2). The City recognizes that industrial
development's place varying demands on the community's quality of life and service
capabilities. In addition to demonstrating a developments’ consistency with Plan
policies, applicable land use regulations, and environmental policies, significant
ACT.L Page 252 of 335

Page 35 of 36
industrial development shall be encouraged to provide a balance between service
demands and impacts placed on the city's quality of life vs. the local benefits derived
from such development. The extent to which industrial development is promoted shall
also take into consideration tax policy and tax structure impacts upon the City.”
(Emphasis added)
The city’s Comprehensive Plan seeks to establish and maintain a balance of industrial uses that
respond to local and regional needs while enhancing the city's image through optimal siting and
location of light industrial uses. The large lot size and being bordered to the north by properties
that are already developed with light industrial uses, suggest the change is appropriate. The
proposed change to “Light Industrial” seeks to link existing areas of the same designation.
21. The second decision criterion is that the comprehensive plan amendment must not
diminish or increase the ability to provide adequate services.
The proposed application for a change in comprehensive plan designation and zoning has been
reviewed by Fire Agency and Utilities and Traffic divisions of the city. Based in these reviews,
the change would not adversely affect the provision of services.
Fonpee LLC, operating as Omega USA Company is a “building contractor” business and has
plans for further development of the southern lot to include a future office building and a future
building for storage of vehicles. While this further future development is capable of being done
under the C3, Heavy Commercial (office uses and parking structures are allowed) it is
complicated by being subject to different development standards. Mr. Stanberry does not have
specific plans for redevelopment of his property. If in the future, additional development is
proposed, in accordance with City Public Works Design Standards, the City may require a traffic
study if there is a likelihood that a site will general more than 30 PM peak hour trips.
The proposed change by itself, if approved will not affect the ability to provide adequate
services. As typical with development in the City, the infrastructure improvements needed to
support the development would be the responsibility of the future development. At the time of
development, adequate services would be required to be provided concurrent with the
development in order for the project to be authorized. So, it is not anticipated that approval of
the request negatively affects provision of services. Utility and street frontage improvements
were recently completed by Omega USA Company for the southern parcel.
22. The third decision criterion is that the assumptions on which the comprehensive plan
is based are found to be invalid.
While the policies of the Comprehensive Plan are not invalid, a change to the mapped
configuration of the land use designations as requested is logical (a change to Map No. 14.1).
The proposed change results in a more logical boundary of the “Light Industrial” designation,
and coincides with two public streets.
23. The fourth decision criterion is that there has been a change or lack of change in
conditions or circumstances has occurred since the adoption of the latest
amendment to the comprehensive plan that dictates the need for a proposed
amendment.

Page 36 of 36
There has been a lack of change in conditions that generates the need for the change. The
pattern of “Heavy Commercial”-designated parcels has not been revisited since it was originally
established at the time of major zoning overhaul in 1987. The original pattern was mainly based
on the location of parcel boundaries at the time that have subsequently changed. The proposed
change is for a portion of two parcels that have split designations and are located adjacent to
other parcels with the “Light Industrial” designation and provides more regular boundaries that
reduce potential for land use conflicts.
24. The fifth decision criterion is that the change must be determined to be consistent
with the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of
the relevant county and “Vision 2040: Growth and Transportation Strategy for the
Puget Sound Region”.
The change if approved would continue to be consistent with the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36.70A), the Countywide Planning Policies of King County and “Vision 2040: Growth and
Transportation Strategy for the Puget Sound Region”. The proposal is consistent because it
provides land suitable for residential development.
25. The sixth decision criterion, applies only to changes of the mapped land use
designation of a specific property, the applicant must demonstrate one of the
following:
a. The current land use designation was clearly made in error or due to an
oversight;
b. The proposed land use designation is adjacent to property having a similar
or compatible designation, or other conditions are present to ensure
compatibility with surrounding properties;
c. There has been a change in conditions since the current land use
designation came into effect. (Ord. 6172 § 1, 2008.)
The same land use designation as proposed occurs on adjacent properties to the north and the
property boundaries have changed and thus meets item b.

t
ober 22, 2013. No public testimony. Subsequent to the Planning Commission’s packet preparation and distribution, it was identified that pages 2, 3, 195, 196 and 198 of the CFP needed to change. The reason for change is that pursuant to Auburn City Code Section 19.04.070(A)(9)related to Traffic Impact Fees, the City exempts traffic impact fees for projects located with the ‘Downtown Catalyst Area’. When traffic impact fees are exempted, the amount is then paid by the jurisdiction. The City anticipates two blocks within the Downtown Catalyst Area to be developed (or permits issued) in 2014. As a result, the source of this city funding needs to be identified in the City Capital Facilities Plan. The PC recommended approval with the amendments.

D. Before commencing any work within the Public Way, the Grantee
shall comply with the One Number Locator provisions of RCW Chapter 19.122 to
identify existing utility infrastructure.
Section 7. Repair and Emergency Work
In the event of an emergency, the Grantee may commence such repair
and emergency response work as required under the circumstances, provided
that the Grantee shall notify the City’s City’s Engineering Aide in writing as
promptly as possible, before such repair or emergency work commences, or as

preference as to positioning and location with respect to the Grantee Facilities.
However, to the extent that the Grantee Facilities are completed and installed prior
to new or additional structures, equipment, appurtenances or tangible property of
an earlier privately-owned utility being installed or completed, then the Grantee
Facilities shall have priority. These rules governing preference shall continue in the
event of the necessity of relocating or changing the grade of any such City road or
right-of-way. A relocating utility shall not necessitate the relocation of another
utility that otherwise would not require relocation. This Section shall not apply to
any City facilities or utilities that may in the future require the relocation of Grantee
Facilities. Such relocations shall be governed by Section 11.

B. Grantee shall maintain a minimum underground horizontal
separation of five (5) feet from City water facilities and ten (10) feet from above-
ground City water facilities; provided, that for development of new areas, the City,
together with Grantee and other utility purveyors or authorized users of the Pubic
Way, will develop and follow the City Engineer’s determination of a consensus for
guidelines and procedures for determining specific utility locations, subject
additionally to this agreement and to a Franchise agreement, should one become
necessary.
Section 10. Grantee Information
A. Grantee agrees to supply, at no cost to the City, such information as
the Director of Public Works, or his or her designee, find necessary to coordinate
municipal functions with Grantee’s activities and to fulfill any municipal obligations
under state law. Said information shall include, at a minimum: as-built drawings of
Grantee Facilities; installation inventory; and maps and plans showing the location
of existing or planned facilities within the City. Said information shall be provided
either in hard copy and/or electronic format as requested by the City, compatible
with the City’s then-current database system, including the City’s geographic
information Service (GIS) data base. Grantee shall keep the City’s Engineering
Aide informed of its long-range plans for coordination with the City’s long-range
plans.
B. The parties understand that Washington law limits the ability of the
City to shield from public disclosure any information given to the City. Grantee
shall clearly mark any information that it provides to the City as “Proprietary”
information if Grantee believes that disclosure of that information would be exempt
under the trade secrets exemption in RCW 42.56.270. The City agrees that if it
receives a request for Grantee’s proprietary information, it will initially assert the
exemption under 42.56.270, and will notify Grantee of the request.
The City shall not initiate legal action to prevent disclosure of Grantee’s
proprietary information. If a requestor files a lawsuit to compel disclosure, Grantee
agrees to defend the action at Grantee’s sole expense. Additionally, Grantee shall
indemnify and hold harmless the City for any loss or liability for costs for attorneys
fees because of non-disclosures requested by Grantee under Washington’s open
public records law, provided reasonable notice and opportunity to defend was
given to Grantee or Grantee is made aware of the pending of a request or claim.
Section 11. Relocation, of Grantee Facilities
A. Except as otherwise so required by law, Grantee agrees to
relocate, remove, or reroute its facilities at its sole expense and liability and at no

expense or liability to the City, except as may be required by RCW Chapter
35.99, or as further provided by Title 20 ACC, as ordered by the City Engineer,
and upon sixty (60) days written notice from the City. Pursuant to the provisions
of Section 14, Grantee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless
from any customer or third-party claims for service interruption or other losses in
connection with any such change, relocation, abandonment, or vacation of the
Public Way.
B. In the event that the Public Way shall become a Primary State
Highway as provided by law, the State Department of Transportation may order
the Grantee to perform or undertake, at its sole expense, changes to the location
of Grantee Facilities so that the same shall not interfere with such state highway
and so that such facilities shall conform to such new grades or routes as may be
established.
C. If a readjustment or relocation of the Grantee Facilities is
necessitated by a request from a party other than the City, that party shall pay
the Grantee the actual costs thereof.
Section 12. Abandonment and or Removal of Grantee Facilities
A. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days of Grantee’s permanent
cessation of use of the Grantee Facilities, or any portion thereof, the Grantee shall,
at the City’s discretion, either abandon in place or remove the affected facilities.
B. The parties agree that those conduits specified in Exhibit E,
attached hereto, have been abandoned by the Grantee and are the property of
the City. The City has all responsibility for the operation and maintenance of
those conduits. In consideration of the Grantee releasing all claims it may have
to the ownership of the conduits, the City grants the Grantee the right to use one
conduit within each of the multi-conduit bundle shown in Exhibit E for the period
of this Public Way Agreement, including any renewals thereof under Section 3.
C. The parties expressly agree that this Section shall survive the
expiration, revocation or termination of this Public Way Agreement.
Section 13. Undergrounding
A. The parties agree that this Public Way Agreement does not limit the
City’s authority under federal law, state law, or the ACC, to require the
undergrounding of utilities.
B. Whenever the City requires the undergrounding of aerial utilities in
the Public Way, the Grantee shall underground the Grantee Facilities in the

manner specified by the City Engineer, and where other utilities are present and
involved in the undergrounding project, Grantee shall only be required to pay its
fair share of common costs borne by all utilities, in addition to the costs
specifically attributable to the undergrounding of Grantee Facilities. Common
costs shall include necessary costs for common trenching and utility vaults. Fair
share shall be determined in comparison to the total number and size of all other
utility facilities being undergrounded.
Section 14. Indemnification and Hold Harmless
A. The Grantee shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City and its
officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers harmless from any and all
costs, claims, injuries, damages, losses, suits, or liabilities of any nature including
attorneys’ fees arising out of or in connection with the Grantee’s performance
under this Public Way Agreement, except to the extent such costs, claims,
injuries, damages, losses, suits, or liabilities are caused by the negligence of the
City.
B. The Grantee shall hold the City harmless from any liability arising out
of or in connection with any damage or loss to the Grantee Facilities caused by
maintenance and/or construction work performed by, or on behalf of, the City

D. Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this

This waiver has been mutually negotiated by the parties. The provisions of this

E. Grantee shall have the right to self-insure any or all of the above-
required insurance. Any such self insurance is subject to approval by the City.

Pursuant to ACC Chapter 20.10, the Grantee shall provide the City with
adequate security as specified in ACC Section 20.10.250, in a form and

City not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the proposed date of

annulled by the City with no further notification.

Background Summary:
Plan A Development LLC has applied to the City for vacation of the right-of-way of the alley
between South Division Street and A Street SE, south of East Main Street, shown on
Exhibit “A”. The applicant currently owns all but one of the surrounding parcels and is
proposing to incorporate the right-of-way in the development of the adjacent properties for
a more cohesive plan and better access for tenants and service vehicles.
The application has been reviewed by City staff and utility purveyors who have an interest
in this right-of-way. Through this review City staff has determined that the right of way is no
longer necessary to meet the needs of the City and that a public hearing should be set to
determine if said right-of-way may be vacated.
Resolution No. 5004, if adopted by City Council, sets the date of the public hearing for
Vacation No. V1-13 for January 6, 2014.

15. General Review – A public access easement for the purposes of vehicular access, pedestrian access,
emergency access, individual parcel access and private property access shall be reserved along the
entire length and width of the vacated right-of-way. Any future development or building over the vacated
ROW may require that the developer/owner vacate necessary easements and relocate all affected utilities
prior to construction.
Assessed Value:
ACC 12.48 states “The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the city be compensated for
the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated,
except in the event the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or have been part of
a dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an amount equal to the full
value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall estimate the value of the right-of-way to be
vacated based on the assessed values of comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is
determined by the city engineer to be greater than $2,000, the applicant will be required to provide the city with an
appraisal by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the expense of the applicant. The city reserves
the right to have a second appraisal performed at the city’s expense.” Note: The city engineer has not required
an appraisal for the value of this right-of-way since the right-of-way was originally acquired through dedication of a
Plat or through a Quit Claim Deed at no cost to the City.
RCW 35.79.030 states the vacation “shall not become effective until the owners of property abutting upon the
street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shall compensate such city or town in an amount which does not
exceed one-half the appraised value of the area so vacated. If the street or alley has been part of a dedicated
public right-of-way for twenty-five years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at
public expense, the city or town may require the owners of the property abutting the street or alley to compensate
the city or town in an amount that does not exceed the full appraised value of the area vacated.”
The right-of-way was acquired through dedication of a Plat on February 28, 1886 at no cost to the City.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the street vacation be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. A public utility easement shall be reserved for City of Auburn sanitary sewer facilities along the entire
length and width of the vacated ROW.
2. A public utility easement shall be reserved for City of Auburn water facilities along the entire length and
width of the vacated ROW.
3. An easement shall be reserved for Puget Sound Energy electric and gas facilities along the entire length
and width of the vacated ROW.
4. An easement shall be reserved for Comcast Cable Corporation cable facilities along the entire length and
width of the vacated ROW.
5. An easement shall be reserved for CenturyLink communications facilities along the entire length and
width of the vacated ROW.

Planning and Community Development Committee to recommend to City Council to introduce and adopt
Ordinance No. 6488.
Background Summary:
Title 19 (Impact Fees) of the Auburn City Code contains standards and regulations pertaining to the
imposition of impact fees in the City of Auburn. Chapter 19.02 (School Impact Fees) addresses the
establishment, calculation, collection and amendment of school impact fees within the municipal
boundaries of the City of Auburn. The city originally established school impact fees in 1998 by Ordinance
No. 5078. Four school districts occur within the City limits.
Pursuant to Section 19.02.060 (Annual Council Review) of the Auburn City Code, on at least an annual
basis, the Auburn City Council shall review the information submitted by the Districts pursuant to ACC
19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of the capital facilities plan element of the
city's comprehensive plan. The City Council may also at this time determine if an adjustment to the
amount of the impact fees is necessary.
The City of Auburn annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment process for 2013 included requests for City
approval of the Capital Facilities Plans of the four districts as follows:
* 2013 - 2019 Auburn School District Capital Facilities Plan;
* 2014-2019 Dieringer School District Capital Facilities Plan;
* 2014 Federal Way School District Capital Facilities Plan; and
* 2013-2014 through 2018-2019 Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan.
These requests were submitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.02.050 (Submission of
District Capital Facilities Plan and Data) of the Auburn City Code.
The School Districts’ Capital Facilities Plans are contained in the working notebooks (three ring binder)
for the 2013 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments, previously distributed to the City Council.

Definition
The city’s code section 19.02 contains the city’s regulations governing school impact fees. It provides the
following definition:
"Impact fee" means a payment of money imposed upon development as a condition of development
approval to pay for school facilities needed to serve new growth and development that is reasonably
related to the new development that creates additional demand and need for public facilities, that is a
proportionate share of the cost of the school facilities, and that is used for such facilities that
reasonably benefit the new development.
Related Authority
Other key points of the city’s regulations include:
The impact fee shall be based on a capital facilities plan adopted by the district and
incorporated by reference by the city as part of the capital facilities element of the city's
comprehensive plan (Chapter 5), adopted pursuant to Chapter 36.70A RCW, for the purpose of
establishing the fee program.
Separate fees shall be calculated for single-family and multifamily types of dwelling units, and
separate student generation rates must be determined by the district for each type of dwelling
unit.
The fee shall be calculated on a district-wide basis using the appropriate factors and data
supplied by the district. The fee calculations shall also be made on a district-wide basis to assure
maximum utilization of all available school facilities in the district which meet district standards.
As a condition of the city's authorization and adoption of a school impact fee ordinance, the city
and the applicable district shall enter into an interlocal agreement governing the operation of the
school impact fee program, and describing the relationship and liabilities of the parties. The
agreement must provide that the district shall hold the city harmless for all damages.
On an annual basis (by July 1st or on a date agreed to by district and the city and stipulated in
the interlocal agreement), any district for which the city is collecting impact fees shall submit the
Capital facilities plan and supporting information to the city.
Applicants for single-family and multifamily residential building permits shall pay the total
amount of the impact fees assessed before the building perm it is issued, using the impact fee
schedules in effect, unless the fee has been deferred pursuant to City Ordinance No. 6341.
The impact fee calculation shall be based upon the formula set forth in ACC 19.02.110, “Impact
fee formula”. The formula is the city's determination of the appropriate proportionate share of the
costs of public school capital facilities needed to serve new growth and development to be funded
by school impact fees based on the factors defined in ACC 19.02.020. Based on this formula, the
“Fee Obligation” is the “Total Unfunded Need” x 50% = Fee Calculation.
The Capital Facilities Plans approved by the school boards contain proposed school impact fees for each
of the Districts. The requests for adjustment of the school impact fees are required to be submitted
concurrent with the submittal of the Capital Facilities Plans prior to July 1 of each year. All the requests
for fee adjustments were received prior to the July 1st deadline.

Council Review and Decision
The setting of the actual fees occurs through separate Council action amending Chapter 19.02 of the
Auburn City Code. Section 19.02.060, “Annual Council Review” specifies the following:
On at least an annual basis, the city council shall review the information submitted by the district
pursuant to ACC 19.02.050. The review shall be in conjunction with any update of the capital
facilities plan element of the city's comprehensive plan. The city council may also at this time
determine if an adjustment to the amount of the impact fees is necessary; provided, that any
school impact fee adjustment that would increase the school impact fee shall require the
submittal of a written request for the adjustment by the applicable school district concurrent with
the submittal of the annual capital facilities plan pursuant to ACC 19.02.050. In making its
decision to adjust impact fees, the city council will take into consideration the quality and
completeness of the information provided in the applicable school district capital facilities plan
and may decide to enact a fee less than the amount supported by the capital facilities plan.
Section 19.02.060 establishes that the Auburn City Council is not obligated to accept the fees proposed
by the School Districts within their submitted Capital Facilities Plans and may establish fees that the
Council determines are more appropriate and consistent with the public’s interest in reasonably mitigating
school impacts within the affected portion of the City.
The Dieringer School District submitted a proposed fee calculation of $5,299.00 for single family
residential and $1,766.00 for mulitple family residential based on their Capital Facilities Plan. Related to
this, the Pierce County Council by Ordinance No. 2013-78, adopted November 12, 2013 and effective
January 1, 2014, established a school impact fee for the Dieringer School District of $3,215.00 for single
family residential and $1,695.00 for multiple family residential. (The Dieringer School District is the only
school district common to both the City of Auburn and Pierce County). To be consistent, it is
recommended to establish a fee applicable to Auburn for the Dieringer School district that is the same as
Pierce County’s fee since it is more appropriate and consistent with the public’s interest in reasonably
mitigating school impacts within the affected portion of the City. The draft Ordinance No. 6488 has been
prepared to reflect school impact fees that are the same as Pierce County’s school impact fee and differ
from what the District has requested.

An Ordinance of the Pierce County Council Addressing School, Traffic and 10
Regional Park Impact Fees; Amending Pierce County Code 11
Sections 4A.10.080, "Impact Fee Assessment and 12
Collection" to Reauthorize A Deferral Program for Certain 13
Impact Fees, 4A.20.030, "Impact Fee Schedule," to Adjust 14
Regional Park Impact Fees for 2014, and 4A.30.030, "School 15
Impact Fee Schedule," to Adjust School Impact Fees for 16
2014; and Setting an Effective Date. 17
18
Whereas, the Pierce County Council authorized a deferral traffic and regional 19
park impacts fee deferral program through Ordinance No. 2010-65s; and 20
21
Whereas, the deferral program will sunset on December 31, 2013; and 22
23
Whereas, park and school impact fees in Pierce County are calculated according 24
to the formulas in Sections 4A.20.020 and 4A.30.020 of the Pierce County Code (PCC), 25
then the fee is "capped" by a "Maximum Fee Obligation" (MFO) which increases 26
annually according to the Consumer Price Index for the Seattle/Tacoma/Bremerton 27
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (PCC 4A.20.020 D. and 4A.30.020 D.); and 28
29
Whereas, the annual adjustment must be adopted by Ordinance following the 30
adoption of the Capital Facilities Plan and any review of impact fees; and 31
32
Whereas, it has been the practice of the Pierce County Council to only adjust 33
impact fees in increments of five dollars, rounding up to the nearest five dollar 34
increment; and 35
36
Whereas, the Pierce County Council temporarily suspended inflationary 37
adjustments to park and school impact fees for the years 2012 and 2013 for economic 38
reasons through the adoption of Ordinance Nos. 2011-81s and 2012-71; and 39
40
Whereas, regarding regional park impact fees, the Consumer Price Index for all 41
urban consumers for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton area in the first half of 1997 was 42
161.9 (the base index for regional park impact fees); for August 2013 it was 242.77; 43
which is an increase of 49.95 percent; and 44

4
Whereas, as a result of inflationary adjustments from prior years, the current 5
MFO for regional parks is $355.00 for single-family dwelling units and $180.00 for multi-6
family dwelling units; and 7
8
Whereas, after adjusting for changes to the Consumer Price Index through 9
August 2013 and rounding up to the nearest five dollar increment, the adjusted regional 10
park MFOs are $375.00 for single-family dwelling units and $190.00 for multi-family 11
dwelling units, an increase of $20 and $10, respectively; and 12
13
Whereas, school impact fees are collected for residential development in the 14
unincorporated County for school districts that meet the requirements in Title 4A PCC; 15
and 16
17
Whereas, the Consumer Price Index for all urban customers for the Seattle-18
Tacoma-Bremerton area for January 2006 was calculated to be 202.25 (the base index 19
for school impact fees); for August 2013 it was 242.77, which is an increase of 20.03 20
percent; and 21
22
Whereas, the MFO for school districts effective in January 2006 and adopted in 23
Ordinance No. 2004-94s was $2,675.00 for single-family dwelling units and $1,410.00 24
for each multi-family dwelling unit; and 25
26
Whereas, as a result of inflationary adjustments from prior years, the current 27
MFO for schools is $3,005.00 for single-family dwelling units and $1,585.00 for multi-28
family dwelling units; and 29
30
Whereas, after adjusting for changes to the Consumer Price Index through 31
August 2013 and rounding up to the nearest five dollar increment, the adjusted school 32
MFOs are $3,215.00 for single-family dwelling units and $1,695.00 for multi-family 33
dwelling units, an increase of $210 and $110, respectively; and 34
35
Whereas, pursuant to PCC 4A.10.130 and 4A.30.010 C., the County has 36
reviewed the relevant School Districts' Capital Facilities Plans, County Comprehensive 37
Plan Amendments, and Title 4A PCC; and 38

*D. The owner/seller of single or multi-family residential property being constructed or 9
improved for resale may request, at the time of submittal of a complete building permit 10
application, that payment of traffic and park impact fees be deferred to the time of 11
closing of sale or no later than 24 months after building permit issuance, whichever 12
comes first. The request will be approved, provided the property owner agrees to the 13
following: 14
1. A lien payable to the County for the estimated amount of the deferred traffic and 15
park impact fees plus accrued interest shall be recorded against the subject property 16
prior to building permit issuance. 17
2. At the time of building permit application, the property owner shall pay a non-18
refundable fee, the amount of which shall be determined by the Director, to cover all 19
administrative costs incurred by the County to process the lien document, provided 20
that this fee shall not exceed $250.00 unless otherwise approved by the Council 21
through ordinance. In addition, said property owner shall pay the costs of recording 22
the lien and all other related costs. 23
3. As consideration for the impact fee deferral, the property owner shall be responsible 24
for either payment of interest on the deferred impact fees based on a rate of 3 25
percent per annum and accrued from the date of building permit issuance until the 26
date of full payment of said impact fees or shall waive the right to recovery of fees 27
not spent within the 10-year statutory timeframe. The consideration option to be 28
utilized shall be specified by the property owner prior to the recording of the lien. 29
4. The County shall be responsible for recording the lien with the Pierce County 30
Auditor prior to building permit issuance. 31
5. The property seller shall be responsible for full payment of the deferred impact fees 32
by the closing date of sale or, in any event, no later than two years from the date of 33
building permit issuance. In no case shall building occupancy occur prior to the full 34
payment of the deferred traffic and parks impact fees. Notice of the prohibition on 35
occupancy shall be included on all certificates of occupancy issued by Pierce 36
County. The actual amount of traffic and park impact fees to be paid will be based 37
on the fee schedules in place at the time of building permit issuance. 38
6. Full payment of the deferred impact fees must be made prior to any segregation of 39
the subject property. 40
7. Escrow/title companies shall collect both the traffic and park impact fees, as well as 41
the cost of releasing the lien, from the sale proceeds at the time of closing and shall 42
forward those funds to the County. 43
8. The County will release the lien after the County has confirmed payment of the 44
deferred traffic and park impact fees. 45
*E. In the event that a property constructed or improved for resale is later proposed for 46
lease or rental, all deferred impact fees applicable to the property pursuant to PCC 47

applicable to the subject property shall occur prior to occupancy. Upon confirmation of 2
full payment of the deferred impact fees, Pierce County shall release the lien recorded 3
against the property for the deferred impact fees. 4
*F. Failure to pay impact fees as required by this Title shall constitute a Class 1 infraction 5
and shall be subject to penalty and enforcement as set forth within Chapter 1.16 PCC. 6
*G. Failure to comply with limitations on occupancy established pursuant to PCC 7
4A.10.080 D. shall constitute a violation of the Certificate of Occupancy and shall be 8
subject to penalty and enforcement as set forth within Title 17C PCC. 9
*H. Pierce County may decline to allow a property owner to utilize the deferred impact fee 10
payment option established pursuant to PCC 4A.10.080 D. for good cause. 11

Re: Status update and discussion of commuter parking for the Comprehensive Downtown
Parking Management Plan, Task 4 (Short-Term and Long-Term Strategies for Parking in
Downtown Urban Center) and Task 5 (Plan Finalization and Council Review) of the Draft
Work Plan.
Background
Work on the Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan commenced in August 2011
per approval of the Draft Work Plan by PCDC on July 11, 2011. Continuing from the Draft DUC
On-Street and Off-Street Parking Supply and Demand Analysis (Task 1) presented to PCDC in
October 2011, the Draft Downtown Parking Survey Report presented to PCDC in July 2012
(Task 2), and the draft Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan table of contents
(Task 3), the draft Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan is a deliverable of
Task 4 (Short-Term and Long-Term Strategies for Parking in Downtown Urban Center) and
Task 5 (Plan Finalization and Council Review).
Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) – Status Update and
Commuter Parking
The draft Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) has been reviewed
by the City’s Public Works, Police, and Facilities Departments, and their comments are currently
being incorporated into the final CDPMP, which will presented to the Committee soon.
Though the CDPMP’s purpose includes “to balance business, residential, visitor, and commuter
parking needs in light of increased transit service and development”, the review found that
future commuter parking demand has not been fully addressed. This demand is twofold.
On one hand, the temporary gravel commuter permit parking lot in the southeast Auburn
Junction block (which was not intended to be permanent) and the temporary gravel 3-hour
public parking lot in the southwest Auburn Junction block (within which currently Auburn Transit
Center commuters potentially park) are in the process of being sold. The developer has
DI.F Page 327 of 335
indicated that they will make parking available until commencement of construction, after which
both blocks’ off-street parking will be permanently displaced. On the other hand, increases in
Sounder commuter rail service over the next 5 years are also anticipated to generate additional
commuter parking demand.
As identified in the CDPMP, although Sound Transit has committed to a second Auburn Transit
Center parking garage, but not currently funded, and funding exists from King County Metro for
construction of an Auburn Transit Center-adjacent parking facility, construction of either or both
is not anticipated in the near- and short-term. The CDPMP anticipates a deficit of public on- and
off-street parking spaces if the displaced and future commuters occupy public on- and off-street
parking spaces. As a result, the action plan chapter of the CDPMP recommends implementing
3-hour public on- and off-street parking and residential permit parking zones throughout the
DUC.
The intent of 3-hour public parking and residential permit parking zones is to reserve on- and
off-street parking for businesses, residents, and visitors and restrict commuters from parking all-
day in those parking spaces. That being said, commuters unable to find a parking space in
Auburn Transit Center’s parking garage and surface parking lots will no longer be able to park
legally in the DUC.
Discussion
At the November 25, 2013 PCDC meeting, staff requests Committee feedback to further refine
the draft Comprehensive Downtown Parking Management Plan (CDPMP) in the context of
commuter parking. To assist in the Committee’s discussion, staff has prepared the following
questions:
1. Should the action plan chapter of the CDPMP address the issues raised regarding
commuter parking in Downtown Auburn?
2. In light of the issues raised regarding commuter parking in Downtown Auburn, what sort
of role should the City take to ensure public parking availability:
A. Proactive enforcement of proposed 3-hour public parking and residential permit
parking zones and proactively ensuring that commuter parking needs are provided
for by Sound Transit and King County Metro.
B. Proactive enforcement of proposed 3-hour public parking and residential permit
parking and proactively finding parking spaces for commuter parking spaces
displaced by the Auburn Junction development (which again, was to be temporary)
and commuter parking space demand anticipated from future Sounder commuter rail
expansion, until Sound Transit and King County Metro provide for commuter parking
needs.
C. Informal enforcement of proposed 3-hour public parking and residential permit
parking until Auburn Junction block developments are completed.
3. What other questions or information would the Committee like regarding this issue?
