Background Summary:
On March 28, 2007 the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on a proposed 16 lot preliminary plat
called "Carter Estates." This plat connects to the recently approved final plat of "North Tapps Estates."
The request also has two plat modification requests:
1. The proposed public road exceeds the 600 foot maximum for adead-end road. Pursuant to City of
Auburn Design Standards Section 10.02.5.2, dead end streets shall not be more than six hundred
feet in length, unless the city determines that due to topography or existing development patterns,
there are no feasible alternatives and emergency service can be effectively provided. The proposed
dead end road is 675 feet in length and dead ends at city owned property to the north. Rather than
placing a cul-de-sac at the end of the proposed public road, the applicant is stubbing the road for a
connection into the city's property for future park development. The road will most likely not extend
fully through the city's property to the north, as wetlands exist on a good portion of the property.
2. A reduction in the horizontal curve radius for the proposed roadway curve. The proposed roadway
radius is 170 degrees whereas the city standard is 370 degrees. Due to site constraints of the
wetland, the gas pipeline property to the east and Lake Tapps Parkway to the south, meeting the 370
degree standard is difficult. The dead end street will have low traffic volumes and speeds.
On April 10, 2007 the Hearing Examiner recommended approval of the preliminary plat request subject to
conditions and also recommended approval of the two plat modification requests. The Hearing Examiner
did add three additional conditions to what staff recommended. Two of the added conditions clarify
conditions recommended by staff. The third added condition includes Findings of Fact 12-26 as conditions
of approval. The seven day reconsideration request deadline for the proposal ended April 20, 2007 at
5:00 p.m. There was no reconsideration requests filed.
The cases were placed on the agenda of the regular City Council meeting on Monday, May 7, 2007. At
that meeting, the City Council decided to conduct a closed record hearing on the Plat request.
