Councilman Cavey mentioned that everyone had received a letter from George A. Sch~ler,
Planning Direc.tor, regarding the request of lial'/ard Thormod. In the letter, Mr. Schu.ler
states "rie had previously l'ecommended to the P1.a:ming Commission that this request
be held in abeyance until a determination is made as to ~ho has jurisdiction, du.e
to the amendrr'ents made to the lar-¡ at the last session of the legisl.at'.J.re. Sine::: t,',9
Planning CO!r~71ission meeting vie have been advised that the ne:'i la,v will take effect
on July 16, 1973 at ¡·¡hich time, all Current Us,.: Classifications ..¡ill be administered

Use Classifications should be considered on a :.:.niform basis, ,,'ith criteria designed
to treat all properties the same. This can only be acco~plished by one agency. We
are somewhat of the opinion, that this request should be denied and the ree be retlŒned
and that the petitioner re-file the application ¡"1Íth the assessor under the prOv'isions
of the ne;·¡ law. If the City Council feels tho.t ¡'Ie should act on this request, then

AUBURN, SAID SECTION TO BE KNŒVN AS 11.16.280 (LlHlDSCAPING STANDl1..RDS).
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this proposed ordinance as amended.
Mr. Frank Lee, of 3104 Aüburn Way North, voiced his objections to this proposed
ordinance. Mr. Lee stated that the ordinance in its rightful meaning is a goOd
thing; however, if he has to spend money to develop· his property and set aside
1200 front feet for landscaping, he feels the ordinance is ridiculous. He stated
that there should be variances for different situations. If he has to follow'
this ordinance he would be the only car agency in town with a park in front of
his business and he does not feel this is feasible. Mr. Lee stated that he could
see having some shrubbery around his business but not a park area. He requested
the Council go look at Bellevue and see how their similar ordinance has gotten out
of hand. Mr. Lee stated that he is for the setback, but he is not for the shrubbery.
It '.>¡as moved by Sonnemann, seconded by Lea, that the Public Hearing be closed.
MOTION CAR9.IED
Councilman Shaughnessy stated that he agrees with the gentleman in the audience.
The intent of ' the ordinance is excellent but he does not feel everyone has the
same idea about what is beautiful in the way of landscaping. He stated that he
fails to see the obligation of a develover to beautify a commercial business
since people will only go to a business- for a specific reason an~ he feels ,
if DroDerty abuts other property or residential areas that are ~cely landscapedJ
the; a· certain type of aesthetics should be fo1lo¡ved.
Councilman Gavey stated that he had been out to Bellevue and particularly studied
tJ~e Nhi te Front Store there. He stated that they follo....¡ed similar landscaping
standards there and the area was beautiful. He understands the store has been
c.losed for a.while and the surrounding area is still in very good shape.
f.Jr. F'ra.n.k Lee ",¡alked out of the meeting at 8:23 P.M.
Councilman Sonnemann stated that the Planning and Beautification ComlÚttee M~mÞers
drove out to Bellevue and ~~dover and looked at the different landscaping beLng
incorporated there. He stated that the attractiveness was very pleasing and he.
feels our proposed ordinance is even less restrictive than some of the surroundLng
Ci.. ties.
It ¡vas ~oved by Darling, seconded by Sonnemann, that the request of the ,Plan~ng

The request for use of the Coal Creek r'la::er Shed area for motor bike riding wa~
considered in detail. The COG~ittee cc~sidered the potential contamination and the
problem with control of the area a~¿ felt that it would not be in the best interest of
the ¡-later Di vision and the Ci ty as a ~¡hole to reco,'71mehd this type of acti vity in
that specific area. Councilman Gavey asked ~~~y the Co~uittee caIne to that conclusion.
Councilman Shaughnessy state:::' that h'e do not "'lant bikes around the ¡'¡ater suppl'..] En:::
h- -....ity, birees c0uld create ¡;...J...1 éÜlcl polJ.<1i...ion, and other CiL..LeS in tn,? an:::a. try
not to contaùinate their water supplies.
The request for underground delay for vlestern Sound Investment Inc. ¡.¡as discussed
and the Committee recommended that a delay be granted, provided the owner sign an
agreement by which he agrees to participate in any future underground LID ¡vhich may
be propo$ed for the area.
Councilman Shaughnessy stated that the Utili ty Committee discussed proposed Netro ~ ,zlubu
Se~;'er llgreement"'. The val:ious changes made in accordance wi th the direction of the
UUlity Corrmittee ¡vere definitely for the best interest of the City and made this
.latest edition of the contract very attractive. It was àlso pointed out t.hat by
ha~ing the trunk line running from Kent to Auburn will provide sufficient capacity
for the Auburn area to gro¡y and develop. If this trunk line is not constructed or
is delayed as a result of the effort of puget Sound Governmental Conference, then there
would be a slim possibility that E.P.A. and the Department of Ecology would allow the
City of Auburn to expand its existing facility or build a tertiary treatment plant.
If the latter happens, then it would seem reasonable that P.S.G.C. would pare down
considerably the size of the proposed treatment plant to only provide treatment to
serve our existing population with very little growth. This line of reasoning brings
one back to consider which is more important, connection to Metro or trying to follow
the original comprehensive plan. The Committee considered the various aspects and
felt that they should recommend to the full Council the signing and submitting of
the latest edition of the Metro agreement.
Councilman Shaughnessy stated that we will be playing into the hands of P.S.G.C.
if we don't resolve our problems with Metro. vie ,,¡ill·be obligated, if tve continue
a grov¡th pattern such as ,,¡e have had in commercial and indusb:ial gro;vth, to enlarge
and expand our se¡.¡age plant. Councilman Shaughnessy asked Pat Nevins and John Berel ter
to explain some of the details.
John B. Bereiter, City Attorney, states that in his memo dated June 1, 1973 he
advises that tne Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the latest Metro
Agreement and to fOD¡ard it to the City's special counsel, Mr. George Mack, with
instructions for him to fonvard the draft to Metro as the latest and best offer of
the City of Auburn.
Pat Nevins, Director of Public Works, stated that we do not have additional capacitq at
our treatment plant. vIe are trying to maintain the flow at the treatment plant but
nOI-¡ aerators are not increasing the capaci ty. Building permi ts are up substantia2l,:;'
and if we continue this trend we tJill find ourselves in dire trouble in the deqree
of exactnèss in treating ser./age if ,,¡e don't do something in near future. If ¡ole
do not join ¡Úth Metro "Ie ,,¡ill be at the mercy of P.S..G.C. in regard to the size of
our treatment plant and "Ie should be a¡-lare of this and plan accordingly.
George Schuler, Planning Director, stated that the Inter-Regional Project has the
·Ci ty listed as "0 gro¡vth". Some areas of the Ci ty are not connected to se";er lines
and if we do not sign with Metro and bring a sewer line do~~ to the City, we ¡,ill be
¡vhere P.S.-G.C. wants us because we won't be serving all areas ,,¡ithin our City.
I have been opposed to Metro and originally pulled Auburn out because I did not Eeei
.it ¡vas right. Ho,,¡ever, it no,,! is a matter of connecting ,,¡ith Metro or ,.;itnessi.T;; )
the death of the City. <
Councilman Shaughnessy stated that he feels this is a very controversial iss:¡e and
he does not feel a recommendation should be made until ¡va hear from other me,TlJers
of the Council.
Councilman Sonnemann stated that he has never been enthusiastic about joining Metro
and he still has some unresolved questions in his mind. He wonders if it really
makes since for Metro to spend five of six million dollars to put pipes in from
Kent to Auburn and then run them back to Renton in order to maintain adequate stream
flow. He ~londers vlhat the environmental irr;pact on the fisheries r;.¡ollld be t.J'ith all
