Upon consideration of the testimony and exhibits admitted at the open record hearing, the
Hearing Examiner enters the following Findings and Conclusions:
FINDINGS
1. The Applicant requested approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide 2.92 acres of land
(tax parcels 272105-9158 and 272105-9185) into ten single-family residential lots. The
subject property is located on the west side of the 3800 block of Academy Drive SE in
Auburn, Washington. Exhibit 1, page 1; Exhibit 2; Exhibit 8.
2. The preliminary plat application was first submitted on March 29, 2000, then resubmitted
on-June 1, 2000 and November 1, 2001. Exhibits 2 & 4.
3. The subject property is zoned Single-Family Residential (R-2). Exhibit 1, page 1.
4. Lot standards applicable to development in the R-2 zone include a minimum lot area of
6,000 square feet, a minimum lot width of 60 feet, and a minimum lot depth of 80 feet.
ACC 18.14.040. Each of the proposed lots would meet or exceed these standards. The lots
would range from 8,373 square feet to 12,443 square feet in area. Exhibit 8.
5. The City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan designation of the subject property is Single
Family Residential. Exhibit 1, page 1.
6. The subject property has been designated by the City of Auburn as an aquifer recharge
area. Exhibit 6 No limitations to development of the site due to the aquifer recharge area
were identified during the SEPA environmental review process or at the open record
hearing. See Exhibits 5 and 6 There are no other environmentally sensitive areas on site.
Exhibit 6.
7. Access to the plat would be from Academy Drive SE. At the proposed plat entrance,
Academy Drive SE currently has a right-of-way width of approximately 37.5 feet and a
roadway width of approximately 20 feet. The Applicant proposes to dedicate ten feet of
right-of-way along the property frontage and construct half-street improvements,
including widening the roadway to 17 feet from the centerline and constructing a new
curb and gutter, planter strip and cement concrete sidewalk. Exhibit 5 Exhibit 8.
8. Access to individual lots within the plat would be from a new cul-de-sac road (Bain Lane
SE). The road would consist of 50 feet of right-of-way, 28 feet of pavement and half-foot
wide curbs and gutters, five-foot wide sidewalks and 5.5-foot wide planter strips on both
sides of the road. 1 Exhibit 8.
A segment of Bain Lane SE would abut a parcel that is not part of the plat. Because this parcel would not be
contributing right-of-way to Bain Lane SE, the sidewalk and planter strip would not extend across the parcel
frontage. However, these amenities would be available on the opposite side of the street. Exhibit 8.
Findings, Conclusions & Recommendation
Hearing Examiner for the City of Auburn
Bain Preliminary Plat. No. PL TOO-0003
Page 2 of 4
9. Pursuant to ACC 19.04.040, the Applicant would be required to pay traffic impact fees at
the time of building permit issuance based on the fee schedule in effect at the time of
building permit application. Exhibit 1, page 2; ACC 19.04.040.
10. Prior to drainage into the street storm water pipe on Bain Lane SE, runoff from the lots of
the plat would be directed to individual swales for infiltration. As depicted on the
revised plat map, Exhibit 8, stormwater runoff from Bain Lane SE would be piped to a
grass-lined biofiltration swale for treatment prior to release into an infiltration gallery..
Exhibit 3; Exhibit 8: Testimony of Mr. Seabrands.
I.I. Potable water and sanitary sewer would be provided by the City of Auburn. These
utilities are available to serve the site. Utility service to individual lots would require the
extension of eight-inch water and sewer lines. Exhibit 1, page 2; Exhibit 6
12. Development of the site is subject to the requirements of the City's Design and
Construction Standards manual. Compliance with these standards would be determined
through the civil plan review process. Per staff's preliminary review, the Applicant is
capable of providing all required public infrastructure in accordance with City standards.
Exhibit 1, pages 2-3.
13. Pursuant to ACC 17.12.260, the plat is exempt from the City's park and recreation
mitigation requirements. Park and recreation mitigation is generally required of
developments of 50 lots or more. Exhibit 1, page 2: ACC 17.12.260.
14. The subject property is located within the Auburn School District. Pursuant to ACC
19.02.070, the Applicant would be required to pay school impact fees prior to building
permit issuance for each lot. Exhibit 1, page 2: ACC 19.02.070.
15. Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), the City of Auburn acted as lead
agency for review of environmental impacts caused by the proposal. The City issued a
Final Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) on June 5, 2002. The MDNS
contains three conditions addressing the establishment of a'haul route and the protection
of cultural and historic resources. The SEPA Responsible Official based these conditions
on Comprehensive Plan policies EN-16, EN-20, HP-1. HP-3 and HP-7.2 Exhibit 5. The
MDNS was not appealed.

wastes, parks, playgrounds and sites for schools and school grounds. Findings of Fact
Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14.
2. The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the comprehensive plan.
The proposed single-family residential use of the property is consistent with the Single

review process conditions were imposed to ensure the subdivision's consistency with specific
Comprehensive Plan policies. Findings of Fact Nos. 1. S & 15.
3. The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of other applicable policies
and plans. No other policies or plans that would affect development of the site were
identified at the open record hearing.
4. The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the subdivision code. The

land divisions; adequately provide for the. housing and commercial needs of citizens; require
uniform monumenting of land divisions; implement the goals, objectives and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan; and prevent or abate public nuisances. ACC 17.02.030. The proposed
subdivision is consistent with these policies because the large lot sizes (larger than required
in the R-2 zone) will prevent overcrowding and ensure adequate light and air; the payment of
impact fees will contribute towards road and school improvements; dedication of right-of-
way and construction of frontage improvements on Academy Drive will promote safe travel;
and the construction of Bain Lane will provide for proper ingress and egress. Findings of
Fact Nos. 4, 7, 8, 9 & 14.
5. The proposed subdivision conforms to the Auburn zoning ordinance and other
applicable planning or engineering standards. Each of the lots will satisfy R-2
dimensional standards. Payment of impact fees will be required at the time of building permit
issuance. No park mitigation is required. Compliance with the engineering standards will be
determined at the time of civil plan review. Evidence was provided that the plat can comply
with the applicable standards. Findings of Fact Nos. 3, 4, 9. 12, 13 & 14.
6. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed subdivision were mitigated
through the SEPA process. Findings of Fact Nos. 6 & 15:
7. Adequate provisions are made so that the preliminary plat will prevent or abate public
nuisances. Findings of Fact Nos. 1-15.

FINAL STAFF EVALUATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST SEP00-0017
Date: November 1, 2001
Project Name: Bain Lane
Applicant MARSHAL BAIN
5307 33RD STREET SE
AUBURN, WA 98092
253-833-3209
Location: The west side of the 3800 Block Academy Drive SE.
Legal Description: Generally, portions of the NEY4 of the SW'/. of Section 27, Township 21
Range 05 East. For a full legal description, please refer to preliminary plat application on.
S-T-R: 27-21-05
Principal Parcel Number: 272105-9158 (63,162 square feet), 272105-9185 (60,984 square feet)
Related Parcel Number: NA
Proposal: Preliminary plat application for the subdivision of two parcels into 10 single-family
residential lots. The proposal also includes the site preparation and installation of public streets,
landscaping and utilities associated with the preliminary plat application.
Existing Zoning: R2, Single Family Residential
Proposed Zoning: NA
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Single Family Residential
A. Background: Pursuant to WAC 197-11-340(2), the City of Auburn is required to send anyw
DNS which may result from this environmental review, along with the checklist, to the DOE, the
US Army Corps of Engineers, other agencies with jurisdiction, affected tribes, and interested
parties. Therefore, the City will not act on this proposal for fifteen days after the: DNS issuance.
6. Phasing: The current proposal seeks to subdivide both parcels to create a 10 single-family lots
under a single phase.
8. Other Environmental Information: The following information has been prepared and
submitted in support of this application:
• "Preliminary Plat of Bain Lane Subdivision sheet 1", dated October 2001 prepared by
Seabrands Engineering.
B. Environmental Elements:
1. Earth: The 1973 USDA Soil Conservation Service's "Soil Survey for the King County Area,
Washington', classifies the site's soils as Buckley sift loam (Bu). Buckley silt loam is made up of
poorly drained soils that formed in Osceola mudflow on the level plain between the Green and
White Rivers. The soil has the following characteristics: moderate permeability in the surface layer
EXHiBiT 6
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist SEP00-0017 - Page 2
and slow permeability in the subsoil, a seasonally water table at or near the surface in the winter
season, high water capacity, slow runoff and a slight erosion hazard.
The site is relatively flat. Under the proposal, it is estimated that the earthwork would consist of
the importation of 3,200 cubic yards of fill for the sub-base under paving and to raise site to equal
grades with adjacent rights of way and properties. Limited excavation will be necessary-for the
installation of utilities and site preparation for construction. Exportation from the site is not
anticipated.
The site's soils and flatness do not themselves present an erosion hazard; however, the site
preparation includes importation and placement of fill for construction. These proposed actions, if
not properly controlled, could result in erosion and sedimentation impacts to adjacent properties or
the surface drainage system.
The City will require the preparation, review and approval of a temporary erosion and
sedimentation control plan in accordance with the Chapter 6.03.1 of the City's Design and
Construction Standards manual.
2. Air. Short-term impacts on air quality could occur during site preparation and paving
operations. Construction activity, to include the transportation necessary for the importation of fill
material will contribute to short-term increases in local suspended particulate levels. These
impacts will be controlled through watering the site as necessary. Street cleaning in accordance
with the City's Design and Construction Standards manual will also lessen'these impacts.
Minimizing the increased levels of suspended particulates is a priority of the City. The City shall
consider measures that will keep the levels of on-site and off-site dust emissions at acceptable
levels. The Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency regulates impacts associated with exhaust
from building ventilation systems.
Applicable policies adopted and designated as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority
under SEPA to approve, condition or deny proposed actions are noted as follows:
The City shall seek to secure and maintain such levels of air quality as will protect human
health, prevent injury to plant and animal life, prevent injury to property, foster the comfort and
convenience of area inhabitants, and facilitate the enjoyment of the natural attractions of the
area. [Policy EN-16, Auburn Comprehensive Plan (ACP)]
The City shall consider the-impacts of new development on air quality as a part of its
environmental review process and require any appropriate mitigating measures. (Policy EN-
20, ACP)
3. Water: There are no surface water features or wetlands on either parcel.
The proposed development will result in approximately 26 percent impervious surface coverage of
the project area. The increase in impervious surface will increase the amount of stormwater
runoff. The volume of runoff created by the site's impervious surfaces will be managed through
the construction of an on-site storm drainage system. Runoff would be collected via pipes and
conveyed to a bioswale located in the southwest comer of the project site. A system designed in
accordance with the guidelines prescribed in the City's Design and Construction Standards
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist SEP00-0017 - Page 3
manual will reduce the potential impacts related to surface runoff and water quality. The on-site
stormwater management facility will be dedicated to the City as a Tract during at the time of Final
Plat.
4. Plants: Concur with checklist.
5. Animals: Concur with checklist.
6. Energy and Natural Resources: Concur with checklist.
7. Environmental Health: Concur with checklist.
8. Land and Shoreline Use: Both parcels are currently vacant and zoned R-2, Single Family
Residential with a Comprehensive Plan designation of Single Family Residential.
Adjacent zoning and land uses include:
• North: R1, Single Family Residential (single family homes) and `I', Institutional Use (vacant)
• East: Academy Drive SE right-of-way and then R1, Single Family Residential (single family
homes) .
• West: 01", Institutional Use (vacant)
• South: R-2, Single Family Residential (single family homes and vacant land)
Both parcels have a City of Auburn Sensitive Area designation of aquifer recharge area.
The Preliminary Plat application was made concurrent with the environmental checklist and
conditions of development may be applied through that process as well.
9. Housing: Concur with checklist.
10. Aesthetics: Concur with checklist.
11. Light and Glare: Concur with checklist
12. Recreation: Concur with checklist
13. Historic and Cultural Preservation: There is an unknown potential for items of cultural
significance on-site. The project area is proximate to a recorded archeological site (45KI495) as a
result of an archeological survey conducted by BOAS, Inc on August 31, 2000. While the
referenced survey had not identified any culturally significant artifacts, historical items were
discovered. Because the site does contain an unknown potential, mitigation measures are
necessary to ensure the protection of potentially significant artifacts.
Applicable policies adopted and designated as a basis for the exercise of substantive authority
under SEPA to approve, condition or deny proposed actions are noted as follows:
The City shall encourage the protection, preservation, recovery and rehabilitation -of significant
archaeological resources and historic sites. (Policy HP-1, ACP)
Final Staff Evaluation for Environmental Checklist SEP00-0017 - Page 4
The City shall consider the impacts of new development on historical resources as a part of its
environmental review process and require any appropriate mitigating measures. (Policy HP-3,
ACP)
The City recognizes that the region's history began before the arrival of settlers to the area
and should accord the same levels of promotion and protection to Native American sites and
artifacts as to those of the more recent past. (Policy HP-7, ACP)
14. Transportation: Short-term impacts on transportation would occur during the site
preparation operations. Longer-term impacts to the transportation system will vary in level
according to the amount of traffic generated by the completed development. The applicant will be
required to pay the applicable traffic impact fee at the time building permits are sought.
The.applicant will be required to complete % street improvements including curb,
gutter, sidewalk,
illumination and landscaping along the Academy Drive SE frontage. An additional dedication of
10-foot of right-of-way is required to match the design corridor of Academy Drive SE.
15. Public Services: The proposed plat will require normal police and fire protection associated
with this type of use. The increase in capacity can be accommodated by the existing operations.
The applicant will be installing fire hydrants in accordance with City Code.
16. Utilities: All proposed utilities are generally available at the site. The proposed plat of the
principal "parcel requires the extension of new 8-inch water and sewer lines to serve the new lots.
Existing lines are proximate to the proposed plat.
C. Conclusion: The proposal can be found to not have a probable significant adverse impact on
the environment. The City reserves the right to review any future revisions or alterations to the
site or to the proposal in order to determine the environmental significance or non-significance of
the project at that point in time.
