Subject: Landscaping Changes at Auburn Commuter Rail Station
Dear Mayor Lewis:
Weare writing in response to your request to change the vegetation in the
planting areas on the plaza area ofthe Auburn Commuter Rail Station. The
plaza area is considered to be that area between the Kiss & Ride parking lot
and the north side of the Auburn Station Parking Garage bordered on the
west by the platform and on the east by the sidewalk along A Street
Southwest.
Sound Transit agrees that the City of Auburn, at the City's sole expense,
may remove the vegetation in the twenty-three (23) plaza planting areas,
retain the trees and replace the existing vegetation with sod. All work on
this project will be performed by the City's Parks Department. The City
will assume all expenses associated with this project including the labor to
remove the existing vegetation, replace the vegetation with sod, the cost of
the sod itself and the disposal of the existing vegetation. The City of
Auburn will also bear the responsibility and expense of maintaining the sod
throughout the term of the lease, ensuring that the grass within the
landscape area remains well manicured and healthy. Regular maintenance
of the planting areas will be performed by the City's Park Department.
John Sheldon, at 206-398-5053, will be your point-of-contact at Sound
Transit should you have questions or need assistance with the project.
Sincerely, ~'
