deration to restricting access to and from Auburn Way South because of the traffic
volume. No one from the audience spoke for or against the request.

Director, replied that the applicant is willing to try to design the development

such as this. George Schuler answered that the applicant has apartments on the
adjoining property, and this is just an expansion of that development.

MONDAY
response to Courci1man Mderson's question, George Schuler explained that approval
of this preliminary plat would allow the developer to continue with his planning,
and that the developer would have to submit plans for the utilities as well as
more precise plans for the entire development to thef-ub1ic Works Department for
approval. Upon receiving their approval, the developer must make the necessary
improvements or file a performance bond for them. In response to Councilman
Lea's questions, George Schuler answered that the zoning in this area would pre-
clude the establishment of a junk yard in the area, but would allow the owner's
intended use of heavy equipment storage. George also replied that in the two
years that the preliminary approval is good for, the developer must establish
a fire flow line, then the roadways, and the utilities. Again, he emphasized that
this preliminary approval would simply allow the developer to begin working with
the Public Works Department on the plans.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Anderson, to approve the request of Norval Latimer
for approval of a Preljffi:nary Plat for Auburn Park of Industry.

that upon approval of the Preliminary Plat by the Ci ty Council, the aeveloper shall

profiles for water, storm and sanitary sewer, streets including street lighting
taking into consideration the Engineering comments regarding this plat.
No one from the audience spoke for or against the request. It was moved by Flechsig
; seconded by Lea that the public hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Larson asked about the number of lots that would be involved in the
variances. George Schuler answered that this cannot be determined wi th the
present drawings because they are only rough sketches. Councilman Lea questioned
whether any lots could be built on before final approval, and George Schuler
replied not unless a short plat was done on the property. Councilman Flechsig
asked about utilities for the area and Pat Nevins indicated that considerable
discussion has gone on to try and find a workable plan for them and that the
sewer would probably be brought across the river. Councilman Roegner asked what
would happen to the park area involved in the request, and George Schuler commented
that ei ther the ci ty Park Department would be responsible for it, or the landowners
, would have to develop and maintain it.
