PUBLIC HEARINGS
The City Clerk read a letter from M.r. and Hrs. v.¡illiam V. Dean, of 2536 I St.reet N.E.,
protesting Assessment No. I of LID No. 280.
Mayor Kersey declared ?ublic Hearing open on the Final Assessment Roll for LID 280,
sanita:r.y sewer constrr.;ction on "I" Street ,v.E. from 24th to 26th N.E.
I
Mr. ~vi1Liam Dean stated that he does not know hO"1 the bids were made on this project
but he does not feel h5. should have to pay for 140 front feet, even though his property
has 140 front feet, because the server line is only 75 feet on his property.
Mr. Georg-e Schuler stated that a peti tion ¡vas carried around to the property owners
by oi:her property owners in the area and all property owners assessed signed the
petition except for Mr. Dean. Mr. Schuler also noted that the or,igina1 cost ..1as
$19.33 per front footage ror the sanitary sewer. Since only one side of the street
was to be served by the sewer Mr. Schuler went to the Utili ty Commi ttee ~'1Í th this
matter and the Committee recommended that the cost be lowered to $12.33 per front
foot and the City would assume any cost over that amount.
Mayor Kersey questioned that if the price were reduced to $12.33 per front footage,
is Mr. Dean correct in objecting to his assessment for 140 front feet.
Hr. Schuler explained that Nr. Dean rvas assessed for the frontage that bel1efi ted his
property and the entire property does receive a benefit for the ser¡.¡er.
MT. j),ean po.inted out that he did not receive any information from the Ci ty o.f Auburn
until. the LID was a1reùdy created and he ~vas being assessed for his property. He
aqain stated that if he must pay for 140 front feet for sewer, he ~vants 140 feet of
selver and not just 75 feet. He did mention however, that a property Œvner had contacted
him in regard to the LID but he did not sig-n a petition.
It ,vas moved by Darling, seconded by Craig, that the Public Hearing be closed.
I

~.ropert~ o~n2~S. Hp 2150 r~;~~~~ ~1'~ ~~?t ~1r D~ In ~~~~ed that ~p was cnntaçted

sewer connected and the City connected at the:! location suggested .by Nr. Dean.
Nr. Nevins stated that the City does not add extra se,ýer line just to add extra cost
to the property ()';ýner I the sewer is connected where it is needed to serve the property"

Councilman Darling- asked Mr. Dean if he !-¡ere aware that if the Ci ty had extended the
1.ine for 140 feet, he c1lou.Ld have been assessed on 140 Ieet because tJ]e co:;t ai:' the project
¡"rJuld ha\le been more.
Mr. Dean stated that his assessment states he is being charged for 140 front feet.
Councilman Craig asked if it wasn't standard practice to base the rate of assessments
on everyone's front footage. Mr. Nevins said yes.
The City Attorney pointed out that the formula for an assessment must show that the
~~ount of the assessment or benefits to the property are at least the amount of the
assessment or greater. No one can be charged more for an assessment than what
benefits his property. When the Council adopts and confirms an assessment roll this
is a rule that must be kept in mind and it must be followed.
Councilman Craig asked if other lots in this area are about the same size. Mr. Schuler
stated the various footages as: 140, 80, 160, 80, 80, 75 and 60. Councilman Czoaig
then asked if any of the other owners get any more service than Mr. Dean. l1r. Nevins
stated that whatever the property owner asks for when they tell the City where to
connect is what they get.
Mr. Dean stated that there is a piece of property behind him that is the same size
as his, and if the property is sold how will that property get a sewer. Mr. Schuler
stated that if the party builds on the property or desires to connect to the sewer,
L1ey will have to pay for their own assessment as well as acquire an easement.
It was moved by Darling, seconded by Craig, that the Final Assessment Roll for LID 280
be èonfirmed and the City Attorney be directed to draw up the necessary ordinance
approving and confirming the same.

STREET COMl'-JITTEE - CHAIRMAN LEA
The Street Comndttee met on February 6, 1974, and was called to order at 8:15 P.M.
Because of a lack of a quorum, Councilman Kitchell was appointed to the Committee
in the absence of Councilmen Darling and Holman.
The Soil Conservation Service Plan was discussed. The original plan included boéh
the east and the west side of the Green River. Although the City of Auburn is not
directly involved with the west side of the Green River, with the exception of the
Auburn Municipal Golf Course and other properties owned by the utilities~ a supplement
agreement is to be entered into with the Soil Conservation Service. The Service
requests concurrence from adjacent sponsoring agencies, which in this case ¡vill include
Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila. The Committee recoffirrlends that this agreement be
entered into per the request of the Soil Conservation Service and King County.
A letter from Lloyd ~,¡. Jones, of Mercer Island, was reviewed by the Committee. Nr. Jones
requests improvements for bicycling to the shoulder of "A" Street S.E. between
Ellingson Road and 37th Street S.E. This item was referred to the Parks and Recreation
Committee for COWffients and available funding for such improvements.
Attention was called to the rather high step beÖ.¡een the paved surface and the sidewalk
on East Main and Auburn Way South. The Committee i~structs the Engineering and Street
Divisions to do what is necessary to improve the si tuation and Councilman Lea
poin ted out that there have been a number of complaints regarding this si tuation in
the past.
The Com~ittee reviewed the Retail Trades Division of the Chamber of Commerce request
for permission to use the area of the "B" Street Mini-Mall for a promotion in conjunction
¡-lith the Cowboy Breakfast on April 27. The Chamber desires the exclusive use of the
Mini-Mallon April 25, 26 and 27. The Committee recon~ends that permission be granted.
Mayor Kersey stated that construct_ion in the area of the Mini-Mall is a problem.
Councilman Lea mentioned that this had been discussed by the Committee and he
realizes the City is on a tight schedule; however, the Chamber of Commerce is aware of
this problem also. Councilman Lea also pointed out that it may not stop raining!
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Craig, that the Chamber of Commerce be granted
permission to use the Mini-Mall area on April 25, 26 and 27.
MOTION CARRIED
The Chô.mber also requested exclusive use of the Mini-Mall in conjunction ¡vi th the
sidewalk sale set for July 25, 26 and 27. The Committee chose not to take action

N.L. Endersbe contends he should not be included in the L. T. D. on that poction of
property described as Assessment No. 40. After considerable discussion it ftlas
moved and seconded that the Street Committee Meeting be continued to a time not certain,
during th2 week of February 11. Tn the meantime, the staff w,ill contact King County
and establ.ish the location of the 30 foot easement bordering- Mr. Endersbe's property
on the wes t.
~le Street Committee Meeting of February 6 reconvened at 6:45 P.M. on February 14, 1974.
The Committee continued discussion on L.I.D. 278.
Marv Seabrands reviewed a scaled drawing prepared by the staff from County records.
The drawing indicated a 30 foot easement of which the east line is in alig-nment with
the east right-of-way line of Riverview Drive (north of East Main). This would,
therefore, indicate that Mr. Endersbe has 1/3 of his property frontage (Assessment
No. 40) within the intersection of East Main Street and Riverview Drive.
Mr. Endersbe contends (and submitted an easement betftleen E. L. Hamlnergren and wifé
and Walter L. Endersbe and ,vife - dated 11 August 1949) the easement to be 20 feet
in width and his property is not benefited in the amount of his assessment.
After considerable discussion, the Committee recommends that the Final Assessment
Roll for L.I.D. 278 be accepted.
Councilman Lea made the following statements at the Council Meeting. HŒvever, in
fairness to all persons Councilman Lea pointed out that the Final Assessment RO.Il
for LTD 278 was held under Public Hearings at the Council Meeting on February 4, 1974.
There were questions in the minds of the members of the Council and the Council
referred this matter to the Street Comnúttee for further information and study at
the February 6 ~eeting. This matter waS again deferred until another meeting was
held on February 14. Since that time, Mr. Endersbe has contracted with a land
surveyor and he is in question with the legal description. of King County. Councilman
Lea stated that the City is not trying to shoot anyone down tonight, and he pointed
out that Mr. Schuler provided him with a letter prior to tonight's Council Meeting.
Co~~cilman Lea read the letter dated February 19 and also stated that he had been
gi ven a T.íicini ty map showing street right-of-¡.¡ay in the area. Councilm,3n Lea also
mentioned other documents that were attached.
George Schuler stated that the documents prove, without a doubt, that the City is
correct in reg-ard to this matter.
Councilman Lea stated that it seems ironic that the Street CowÆittee, comprised of
a12 new me«~ers, would be involved in such an LTD. He pointed out that he feels the
City has acted in good faith on this LTD and also stated that if Mr. Endersbe went
out and got a land surveyor and the Ci ty was ¡ýrong, we ¡.¡ould have paid the cost.
This LTD will come up under Ordinances and Resolutions tonight.
Nayor Kersey stated that he has talked ['Ii th MI. Endersbe and Mr. Bereiter also
2'Zvfsed lfr. Endersbe in regard to thG matter. Nayor Kersey asked Mr. Enders}),'?
.if he has any ot.'-ler information to present.
Mr. Endersbe stated that his question t:on~ght is just ,ýhat stake are they gOIng ny.
!7L EndGcsbe a1so pointed out that he was told that the Engineering Department does
not have a licensed land surveyor on the staff. .It ,ýas pointed out that 11r. EncL:rsbe
had CODe to the Council Neeting to speak for three other gentleman also, because ,if
he ÇfCJes by the sta.ke the Ci ty h3s put up, all of his neighbors [v,iU be in'/ol w:cI .Ín

tonight 0li thout further study.
Councilman Darling asked Mr. Endersbe if the information presented tOTught >vas just
recently taken. Nr. Endersbe said yes, it >ýas just last Friday. Mr. Endersbe then
ask:edif just o:~e st::']C2 or all tIle s takes ,-'lIe out of line.

Councillnan DaL.Iing asked if the Engineering Departm5'nt people have had a chance to
look at the infornc::.tion presented by Mr. Endersbe. Pat Nevins stated no, it ;ý2S given
to him before tOTight1s meeting. NT. Nevins asked Mr. Endersbe a question ahout one_
of the documents he provided and Mr. Endersbe got up and âiscussed the document (IlL th
Mr. ¡'levins. Mr. Nev.ins stated that he iv'ou1c1 check out the .iron pin tomorrO'/l.
COLncilman Lea stated that in relation to the COlT'"ìlittee Meeting of the 14th and added
input [Tom Mr. Schuler and Nr. Endersbe / he would like to know iEi t is possible to
further de.lay the adoption of this ordinance.
It was moved by Lea that life delay the adoption of this ordinance and allor,.r the staff to
study this further and refer it to the Street Cormni ttee Meeting on vlednesday night.
Pat Nevins stated that the property line stake is not really r:elative -to adopting
and accepting the Assessment Roll.
Mr. Bereiter, the City Attorney/ agreed with Pat Nevins in tha-t a delay in final adoption
of the Assessment Roll will cost service charges to the City of Auburn and he does
not feel this stake .line really reflects on adoption of this LID. Mr. Bereiter asked
everyone to ask themsei ves if the property ;vðS improved or equal to the amount of
assessments. The Attorney stated that he feels this is particularly significant
since Mr. Nevins has worked on this and Mr. Endersbe has been given a reduction of
a full 2/3 and the entire property owned by MI. Endersbe Ivas ac-tually benefi ted I
and he is only being charged for 1/3. Mr. Bereiter suggested that since the Council
has given due process and consideration on this matter, that they come to a decision
on it.
Councilman Craig asked if Councilman Lea made a motion. Mayor Kersey pointed out
that there was no second.
Councilman Lea stated that the Street Committee recommends that this ordinance be
adopted and it was unap2mous from those who have been out and looked at the property
that there is a question regarding the curbing having been extended beyond his driveway.
At first glance it appears that he was short changed.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Ho1man/ that the Council Adopt this Final Assessment.
Councilm~~ Craig stated that this information was just presented -tonight and he
cannot go along with the recommendation of the Street Committee because there is new
information and he disagrees with the City Attorney. He feels that the Council must
take into consideration information of citizens and he thinks it is incumhent upon
the City that when they get ready for a final assessment, they should have everything
1ined up for that and he can not go along with adoption of this LID.
Councilman f'lechsig stated that they must make a decision. Are we or are we riot going
to approve the adoption of this LID tonight? Councilman Flechsig also asked if we
do approve the LID, what recourse does the property Oivner have on the problem before us?
I
Dle City Attorney stated that he can appeal it to the Superior Court. Mr. Bereiter
stated that there seems to be some misunderstanding. Mr. Endersbe talked to the
Nayor: abQut this and the Mayor brought him in on the discussion çllso. I have advised
¡vir. En:1ersbe that he is within his rights to obtain legal counsel; however/ I advised
him that he should wai t until final action is taken on this because he might agree
to the final. outcome. If he is overruled and the o1.'dinance is passed, I >1/0uld ask
Mr. Endersbe to get legal advice and take this to Superior Court.
Counc.ilman P1echs..ig stated if this must go to Superior Court, his inclination would
,be to vote aga,inst adoption of this ordinance. He stated he feels this should be
ab,Le to be settled outside of court.

The City Attorney asked that before the Council votes on this matter, he ;.¡auld like
to confer wi th I!r. Schuler and tIr. Nevins.
Counc,ilIT'al1 Lawler stated that at the last Council Meeting a statement was made
regarding the money the City would lose if this is delayed. lie asked for that
information. l1ayor Kersey stated the cost ,ÿou1d be approximately $450 per month
until the LID is adopted.
Councilrr.an Lawler pointed out that in regard to the $450, he does not see ho¡.; we
can put ourselves in this position "if Mr. Endersbe should be right" and·if he should
take this matter to Superior Court.
George Schuler pointed out that over the years, we have had problems of this nature
and they have been worked out even after the LID is adopted. Mr. Schuler stated that
he does not think the Ci ty is the type to say "Here is the stake" and then not do
anything about it.
Mr. Endersbe stated that Council Members that have seen this. have stated there has
been no improvement to his property. The reason the Street Committee has recommended
that this be adopted is because they were misled by Mr. Schuler. Mr. Endersbe stated
that he tried to take less time; however, since he does not have improvements and
the only impro'.rer:;ent he would have is if the stake ,vas back where it belonged, he
invi tes any mer-he::: on the council to go take a look at his property. lie also stated
that if this matter is not settled, his neighbors won't be tookind because they vlill
be affected by G~is also.
Councilman Darling asked Mr. Endersbe if the adoption of this LID could be made
by a motion, as public record, and include instructing the staff to inspect the property
lines and monuments, would this satisfy him at this time and resolve this matter
at thi s ti me .
MT. Enders.be stated no because of a statement made by the gentleman at the table,
by the Council T~?le, stating that he never got a complaint on this. Mr. Endersbe
stated the he carne in and discussed this matter and he feels everyone has had
sufficient time to go out and inspect this property. He also opposes because
if this is adotped, he will have ten days to go to Superior Court and he does not
.feel that giT,res him enough time.
Fir. Berei ter, speak.lng for the staff, sta ted that they would recomz'1end t113t this
P.inal l!ssessment be adopted and confirmed tonight, waiving the ten day period for
Mr. E'ndersbe -to appeal this to Superior Court and also requiring the Ci ty to further
study Mr. Endersbe's problem.
Councilman Lea asked MI. E'ndersbe if he stated that .i.f his lim? stake is placed
p.roper ly it ';<lOuld change the markers on a,Ii boundaries in the area. Nr. E.'1derslJe

not only would he be paying because of the change, but so would all of the other

COl!nc:Jlman Holman stated that all Counc.ilmen haT/e a co.?y of a ,2ette-:: sent ,lnb¡,.'
senio2' golfers i/ho ¡vant special considera tion of the fees. Se:J.Íor ci t.i zens are

th~ ne¡.¡ Resolution ¡'lOu1d raise this Iee to $225. Councilrr:an Holman stated that he
"fLU not vote on this unless there is an understallding- tha t sOi'nethi ng will be
done in regard to senior citizens.
Councilman Craig concurred ,vi th Councilman Holman and recommends that tole g-o ahead and
adopt this resolution and that it be referred to the Park Board and Park Department
for consideratJon and then comes back with a recommendation of imp.Iementation for
senior ci ti zens.
Councilman Darling stated that he also shares the same concerns as Councilman Holman.
Councilman Darling stated that he does support Resolution No. 620 tonight ,but feels
it should be referred to the Park Board for a meeting with Mr. Peluso. He also
suggests that the senior citizens meet with the Park Board.
Hr. Len Chapman, Director of Parks & Recreation~ stated that Mr. Peluso has the
perogative of setting the fees at the golf course and according to the terms of
the lease, he is so doing. The Park Board has recoTf1I¡¡ended that Council concur with
the increase. Daily Green Fees for senior citizens would be 25¢ for nine holes and
50¢ for 18 holes. In comparing these figures with other courses in the area~ they
are lower than the others. On a yearly basis, there are only three other courses
who use a yearly rate. The increase for senior citizens, on a yearly basis, would
be from $128 per year to $150 per year. The only alternative, if the Council does not
accept this tonig-ht, is that Nr. Peluso get together with a group of senior citizenS
¡.¡ho play golf out t.'1ere. The Park Board did recei ve this request in January and
delayed any action until we could contact Auburn Men r s Golf Club.
Mayor Kersey stated that when this subject first came up, he was contacted by an
elderly person and they have g-one to the Park Board and Planning and Beautification
Commi ttee to discuss this matter. The Mayor sta ted that unless this resolution is
delayed, he feels it meets the terms of the lease.
Councilman Lea asked how many elderly people are involved in paying a yearly
green fee. Nr. Ch~pman stated between t¡'lenty and ttventy-five persons use the
yearly progra~ because they can only play golf on weekdays.
Councilman Holman asked that i.f this is passed tonight, ¡,vould the Ci ty he sure that
the st?ni or ci ti zens can go talk .vi th Nr. Pel usa and have something done in regard
to this Fatter. Mr. Chapman indicated that he ¡'/Quld see that they get to';jether
for discussion.
