PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Kersey declared Public Hearing open on the request of Dr. Don Shephard for a
Gravel Removal Special Property Use Permit for property located on the West Hill,
lying southwesterly of 15th Street N.W., adjacent to 60th Avenue South (County Road).
(Application No. 3-75)
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request because it does conform
with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and that it be conditioned upon the following
provisions:
1. That the excavation not exceed the limits as shown on the plans and profiles
on file with the application which shall become a part of the permit.
~. That excavation shall begin on the easterly portion (Site No.1) first with no
excavation taking place on the westerly portion (Site No.2) until assurances have
been filed with the City in the form of a performance bond in the amount of $5,000
guaranteeing the City that excavation will be. completed and restoratio~ of the entire
site will be done in conformance with the regulations contained within the permit
within 120 days, or excavation has been completed and restoration has been completed
upon Site No.1.
3. All removal of materials on Site No.'s 1 and 2 shall commence from the north,
thence proceeding south excavating to final grades as materials are removed.
4. On Site No. 2 there shall be maintained a minimum of a 200 foot buffer zone along
the south property line. No natural vegetation shall be disturbed or removed from
this 200 foot buffer zone. Along the west property line final grades shall not be
lower than the elevation of the adjoining property.
5. On Site No. 1 the back slope beginning at the north line of the buffer zone shall
be not less than 4 to 1 (4 foot horizontal to 1 foot vertical), to provide a gradual
transition from the adjoining propèrty.
6. This permit shall be for a five (5) year period. At the end of the 5 year period
the owner will be required to grade all slopes to a minimum of 1 1/2 to 1 slope and
restore the site in conformance with the regulations contained within the permit.
7. The issuance and maintenance of this Special Property Use Permit shall be contingent

I. The City shall have the right to make inspections of the reclamation site at
any reasonable time to determine compliance with the provisions of the permit. The

Control Regulations. Which exhibit shall be attached to and become a part of the
permi t .
Dr. Shephard, of 31812 58th Avenue South, made a presentation giving reasons for his
request and stating how the project will be carried out. As this was the same
presentation made at the Planning Commission Meeting of March 4, 1975, a copy of
said minutes will be made a part of the Official Council Minutes.
Robert Kline, of 520 Aaby Drive, stated he had no objections to the request per se;
however, he wondered if t:he $1,000 per acre bond would be sufficient should the
applicant default on ~eeting deadlines or requirements set forth by the Planning
Commission.
Ted Nickson, 523 Aaby Drive, stated that having attended the Planning commission Meeting
two weeks ago, it appears to him tha t the Ci ty is finally fOllowing the Comprehensi ve
Land Use Plan and this is the first request of this nature that he feels he could
go along with. Mr. Nickson made several comments regarding the procedures used by the
Council in calling for this particular public hearing.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Darling, that the Public Hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Darling asked that the wording in Dr. Shephard's request be changed from
"Gravel Removal Special Property Use Permit" to "Special Property Use Reclamation Permit".
I
A rather lengthy discussion followed and the Council voiced concern with the following:
(1) Are the amounts asked for-the bonds sufficient? (2) Are there adequate water
holding basins for the area? (3) Will seeding of the sites begin within 90 days
after completion of each site or upon completion of the entire project? (4) Should
, the applicant be able to complete this type of operation within five years? (5) Could
the Board of Adjustments, at a later date, allow the applicant to process the sand,
gravel and earth materials on the site? (6) What route will be used to haul out
the materials? and (7) What other uses would be allowable, in this area, under the
SPU Permit?
I
Mr. George Schuler, Director of Planning & Community Development, gave the following
answers to the above questions: (1) The amounts asked for the bonds are £he same
as those set by the State and the same as has been requested on other permits.
(2) Water coming out of the sky will go into the ground and will not cause erosion
of the hill site. He also pointed out that if a housing development goes in the
area, then adequate provisions for run off and storm drainage would have to be put in.
It was also noted that there are two holding basins on the site. (3) The Planning
Department assumes that he will finish site 1 and then within 90 days after applying
to begin work on site 2, site 1 will be seeded. (4) Since this is a reclamation
project, and different from a gravel removal project, there should be no problems
in completing the entire project within the five year period. (5) It was noted that
the Board of Adjustments would have to take into consideration the Planning Commission
recommendations and probably would not change them. Mike R~ynolds, City Attorney
Pro Tem, stated it would depend upon the restrictive recommendations made by the
Planning Commission. (6) It was pointed out that Mr. Shephard has an agreement with
Standard Mining to haul the materials to the north through Standard Mining property'.
Also, as long as the hauling is done outside of the City Limits, the City has no
control over the route used; however, should hauling be done within the City, the
- Public WQrks Department would have to approve the rOI.!._te. (7) ,!he ªrea is _ presently
zoned R-l and if any other use is requested for the property, other than that
. allowable under R-l zoning, the applicant would have to apply for a rezone.
During the discussion, Councilman Craig asked the Council and Planning & Beautification
Committee to consider taxing gravel removal operations. At present, the only fee
charged is $50 for the original permit and that does. not even cover costs of the
Planning Department to prepare for issuance of a permit.
Ted Nickson requested the Planning Staff to provide maps, along with information and
recommendations ,distributed at Planning Commission Meetings, to the public.

I
Mayor Kersey pointed out that the Director of Planning & Community Development was
in the hospital and unable to attend the last Planning Commission Meeting; therefore,
some pertinent information and facts were not presented to the Planning Commission

information pertaining to the costs involved in issuing said permits.and at present
the costs are higher than the fees charged to the applicant.

Mayor Kersey recognized Mr. Kasper, along with the DeMolay Boys. Mr. Kasper announced

the week of March 16th through March 22, 1975, as DeMolay Week within the City Limits
of the City of Auburn and urged all our citizens to join in honoring these fine young
people.
Mr. Kasper asked that the young men be·excused, as-·it is a school night and the hour
is getting late. Mayor Kersey stated we would see the young men from DeMolay on
Friday morning and the group left the Council Chambers.
Councilman Darling pointed out that the increase in fees for applications to the I
Board of Adjustments and Planning Commission has been a part of the 1975 projected
revenue and asked the Council to consider this carefully as it will affect the budget.
George Schuler also pointed out that the Planning Commission Members have been notified
of the information sent out since the last Commission Meeting and they are in agreement
with the proposed increases.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Lawler, that amendments to Chapter 11.22.080
of the Auburn City Code changing the fee for applications in which the Board of

After considerable discussion, Mayor Kersey stated there is still a liability problem
connected with installing speed bumps and he also pointed out that a precedent would

be allowed to work on this problem and he noted that solving a problem by creating
other problems is not the answer.

Mayor Kersey stated he recognizes the need for bingo and the youth programs supported
by the various organizations; however, if the City does not receive revenue from this
activity, the entire community will have to pay by way of higher utility bills or
through the loss of other City employees.
Councilman Lawler stated he has been a member of one of the organizations for twenty-two
years. He stated he did not want to see the tax on non-profit organizations either
