MOTION CARRIED I CORRESPONDENCE The City Clerk read a Conditional Use Permit application from Carl and Viola Lemke to change from a Special Property Use Permit property located on the south side of 23rd S. E. between "D" and "F" St. S. E. (Application 25-77), and an application for subdivision from Carl and Viola Lemke for property on 23rd and "D" St. S.E. known as Lemke's Addition #2 (Application P-6-77). It was moved by Lea, seconded by Larson, that Application 25-77 and P-6-77 be referred to the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission. MOTION CARRIED The City Clerk read a petition from the abuttihg property owners for vacation of the alley south of 1st St. S. W. between "A" and "B" St. S. W. It was moved by Larson, seconded by Flechsig, to instruct the city attorney to draw up the necessary resolution calling for a public hearing for this alley vacation to be held August 15, 1977. MOTION CARRIED AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Chuck Curran of Safeway Stores, Bellevue, asked that council postpone add-on Resolution No. 814 regarding the trade of properties between the city and Safeway, so that Safeway may have more time to iron out details of the I agreement with the third party involved, Washington Mutual Savings Bank. The agreement should be ready for council action by its August 1, 1977, meeting. Attorney Mike Reynolds spoke on behalf of Attorney Bob Smythe and his letter to the council dated July 15, 1977, regarding his client Mr. C. A. Parker and the Hidden Valley Estates development. He asked that the council reconsider its decision made at the council meeting of July 5, 1977, and allow Mr. Parker to continue selling 5 acre parcels of this development. He explained that their action could lead to the collapse of 21 of the sales and this in turn could lead to a substantial loss to the developer. He argued that the council's action could be judged arbitrary and capricious because it had allowed the development of another similar piece of property recently. He pointed out that requiring Mr. parker's 5 acre parcels to establish public water, sewer and streets, would put the price of those parcels out of reach of most of the interested buyers, and it would be of no economic benefit to the city because the city would have to maintain these public utjlities. He added that Mr. Parker is willing to resolve to the city's satisfaction the drainage and traffic problem pointed out in George Schuler's letter of April 27, 1977. Lea asked if these 5 acre parcels could be further divided and sold at a later date. George Schuler replied that a short plat ordinance covering these 5 acre parcels would have to include a provision that the parcels could not be further divided to insure this. He added that although this development was not originally treated under any specific ordinance, that steps have been taken to assure that it is a responsible, sound development. Pat Nevins I felt that Parker's proposal to accomodate the city is a good one, and that staff could come up with a firm proposal to present to the committees meeting this week. Craig agreed that a proposal should go to the appropriate committees and retu>>n to the council at their next meeting. Flechsig asked Attorney Reynolds if this was too much of a delay, and he replied that six of the earnest money agreements would run out before that date. Lea moved that -1- I C.C (:-- - u c.: t:l.2 I I AUBURN, WASHINGTON ((""!, ~!6 .jVJ JULY 18, 1977 MONDAY Mr. Parker's proposal for development of the Hidden Valley Estates be referred to appropriate department heads involved, and to the representative committees involved and be brought before the council again August 1, 1977; seconded by Craig.
