PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Gaines declared the pUbl ic hearing open on Resolution No. 291 of the City Council
which provided for the vacation of a street situate between the East ~ of C Street S. W.
between 3rd St. S.W. and a point 300 ft. S. of 3rd St. S. W.
Attorney Ernest Crane, representing Mr. & Mrs. Tony Susner, stated that his legal ob-
jections were that only one party had signed the petition and the law requires that 3/4
of the property owners I iving on the street must sign the petition. Mr. & Mrs. Susner
own 50 per cent of the property and it would cut their right-of-way down to 30 feet,
imposing a hardship on them. Max Walters, an employee of the State of Washington Dept.
of Publ ic Assistance, stated that the state is leasing a building on the property from
which surplus food is dispensed to those who qual ify. The state has been leasing this
bui Iding for the past five years. If the proposed 30 feet were closed it would make it
difficult to turn the large trucks around and the state would have to seek a new faci 1-
ity.
It was moved by Blakeney, seconded by Sonnemann, that the publ ic hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
It was moved by Fitzsimmons, seconded by KI ine, that the appl ication for street
vacation be denied.
MOT I ON CARR! ED
I
Mayor Gaines declared the publ ic hearing open on the Comprehensive Street Program of the
City of Auburn to consider the 1968-69 biennial revisions and extensions of said program.
City Engineer Poe stated that revision is required every two years by the State. During
these years streets are to be constructed if we have the money and if it fits into the
plan. Poe stated he had two letters - one from the Boeing Company requesting approval
of improvements to a portion of C Street S.W. due to heavy traffic. The second letter
was from General Services Administration urging that we consider the improvement of C
Street S.W. due to GSA and Boeing Company traffic. Mr. Eaton from the audience asked
when the Val ley Freeway was scheduled. Poe said he did not know at this time. Ben
Morse from the audience asked about grade separations at the rai Iroad. Poe repl ied
that the City is requesting 90 per cent assistance from the State on each of these
projects. Unless the assistance is obtained it is doubtful that the City would be
able to finance the project.
It was moved by KI ine, seconded by Nickson, that the publ ic hearing be closed.
MOT I ON CARR I ED
It was moved by Blakeney, seconded by Sonnemann, that the City Attorney be instructed
to draw up a resolution adopting the 1968-69 biennial revisions and extensions of said
program for the City of Auburn.
