Mr. Smythe presented his facts and plans with regard to the parcels, maps and profile

and Stipulations of the Planning Commission, and conditions brought out in the hearing
before the Planning Commission. . They have complied with requirements from the Department
of Ecology, have industrial performance standards established by the Z-M classification
of King County and have complied in all respects to make the removal operation of the
applicant entirely compatible with the surrounding area.
Mr. Craig, spe aking on behalf of the Committee for the Auburn Comprehensive Plan,
stated the Committee wished to congratulate the Planning Commission and Planning Department
for all the time and work put into the gravel removal problem and the Committee is pleased
with all the restrictions that have gone into this operation. It is the recommendation
of the Committee to grant Application No. l5-70 and deny l5A-70 at this time. Mr. Craig
went on to present results of survey and investigation with regard to the gravel removal
operations in the City of Auburn and recommends the City obtain a noise measurement
instrument.
I
Mr. John Bocek presented facts and history which commenced with facts and information
dating back to the petition for annexation of an area South of the Stuck River and set
forth that property owners could not develop this land because of lack of utilities at
this time and there should not be any more areas opened for gravel removal which would
hinder and block receiving water and sewer facilities without having some method of
paying for those utilities. The City should develop some policies, criteria or guidelines
for the opening of these pits and control of the truck traffic generated by their
operation.
Mr. Bocek respectfully requested the following with regard to the gravel removal request:
l. That these applications be denied for the reasons indicated.
2. That when large quantities of material are to be moved, that the operators not
be permitted to use "R" Street or the Stuck River Road.
3. That no additional permits be issued in this area until mining from the State
l60 acres and other existing permits have been completed and restored.
4.
That the city enact a tax to be levied on gravel operations to provide the funds
tø adequately police these operations.
I
5.
That the present gravel crushing operation be investigated to determine compliance
with the conditions imposed on its operation and compliance with screening and
elevation requirements. That if violation is found, that corrective action be
taken.
6. That some type of ordinance be adopted so that gravel and fill material removal
does not prohibit development of utilities past these operations.
7. Procure from the City Attorney, legal opinion as to whether the massive scope of
these applications do not constitute "spot zoning" and be within the prohibition
of Smith vs. Skagit County 75W 2nd 7l5.
Mayor Kersey then asked persons speaking against the gravel removal to voice their objections.
Susan Kimmel, ll14 3rd S. E., Auburn, from audience, stated she thought the gravel pits are ugly,
takes away the value of the City of Auburn and one more gravel operation would be a
hindrance to the houses on that side of the Stuck River.
Clyde wilbanks complained about the noise and said the noise he believed was internal
workings of the gears. Mr. Wilbanks stated that people could not use the Stuck River for
picnic area in the summer with the gravel removal operation.
Roger Lewien complained about the gravel removal operation and the BERM.
Walter Terry, 3408 Beacon Avenue South, Seattle, stated he owned property near the gravel I
operation and that they were considering developing the property and will hope to have
water and sewer utilities.
Mr. Smythe thanked the Council for listening to his presentation and stated the
petitioners would very much request that approval be given to the two applications subject
to the restrictions and conditions set forth.
