ROLL CALL COUNCILMEN PRESENT: Councilmen Roegner, Kitchell, Craig, Larson, Anderson and F 1echsi g. Counci 1man Lea excused. It was moved by F1e9hsig, seconded by Kitchell, that the minutes of the August 1, 1977, council meeting be approved, with the following correction: Page 6, under Finance Committee, first paragraph, third line should read "exc1uding voucher number 10252 for $300 and voucher number 10198 for $259.51". MOTION CARRIED PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Mayor Kersey declared the pub1ia hearing continued on the request of Leonard Thormod, Joyce Inman and Janice E. Norton to rezone from R-2 (single family) to M-1 (light industrial) property located on the west side of Clay Street N.W. in the 300 block (Application 21-77). The Planning Commission recommends council denial of this r~quest because of the drainage problem and spot zoning in the area. City Attorney Jack Bereiter indicated that because only four councilmen were present to hear the first part of this hearing, and only three of those four are present now, he would advise council, with reservations, that they could continue this hearing by reconstructing the previous portion of the hearing. It was determined that all those who spoke at the first part of the hearing were again present. The council voted unanimously to proceed wi th the hearing. The ci ty clerk read a letter from Ri chard and Sandra Bruce, 402 Western Street N.W. stating their opposition to the rezone. Barbara Campbell, 415 Western Street N. W. Objected to the rezone because of the drainage problem, citing the standing water problem currently being caused by the Frito-Lay warehouse in the area. She also mentioned her opposition to spot zoning, and that she had understood that the city would be helping out by constructing city sewer in the area. Pauline Tarp voiced her opposition, because of the drainage problem, which has become worse since the highway was built. Helen Weber, 314 Western Street N. W., objected because of the swampy conditions already present in the area, which has caused the deterioration of buildings and trees, and has had an adverse effect on private septic systems. Ralph Hamlin, 308 Clay Street N. W. stated his opposition to the proposed development in their residential community, and to the possible pollution it would create. Raymond Williams, 320 Clay Street, presented a photograph to council showing the standing water condition as of May 25, 1977, in the area, and voiced opposition because of those reasons already stated. Leonard Thormod, owner of the property proposed for rezone, explained that he had understood that this area was planned for light industry, that he was told this by both the King County and the city zoning offi- cials, and that he feels that the zoning was misrepresented to him, if it is planned for residential. Donna Willard, 410 Western Avenue, stated that past spot zoning in this area has been disastrous, and that the required fill for construction of the proposed development would make things worse. Frank Ives, 1862 Ives Avenue, Kent, the potential buyer of the property, commented that the only way the area will solve the water and sewer problems is to allow light industrial development that the zoning calls for to help pay for a ~oca1 improvement'district. Restricting this development now will only delay resolution of the problems. Barbara Campbell asked if this hearing was only to consider the rezone and not the development that is put on the property. Mayor Kersey explained that the hearing is for the rezone only, but that the zoning will determine to some ex ten t what type of development can be constructed here. Mr. Thormod stated that spot zoning of industry is already established on Western Avenue, and that industrial development in the area cannot be held up forever if the area is zoned for it. -1- , ::;~, I l~ I , -....:, c;,c' ~ ,...... u 0:; ~ i --1 '::. 1 AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY AUGUST 15, 1977 Helen Weber asked why spot zoning is done. Mayor Kersey replied that if an area which in the past has been residential, is then zoned for potential industry, industry in the area appears as spot zoning, until the potential is fulfilled. Donna Willard asked if there isn't already a great deal of land in the Auburn area zoned for industry which is not being used. George Schuler replied that there is a good deal of industry-zoned property in the area, but that much of it does not have utilities available to it. He added that this request should not be considered spot zoning, because the area is designated in the comprehensive plan as light industrial. Mr. Ives stated that he has looked for a year and a half to find property that is small enough and has utili ties available to sui this needs and verified that industrial property is not easy to find. It was moved by Larson., seconded by Craig, that the public hearing be closed. MOTION CARRIED Craig commented that the comprehensive plan is out of date, that its /designation for the area isn't necessarily right, and that it is this information which the public hearing is,Ilfeant to bring out. Pat Nevins stated that public works has tried to obtain monies from the federal and state governments to construct a sewer system in this area, but has not been successful. It was also pointed out that the ser#{1.ge holding tank which Frito Lay has been allowed to maintain at their warehouse will not be allowed beyond November of this year. It was moved by Craig, seconded by Kitchell, to deng the request of Leonard Thormod, Joyce Inman and Janice E. Norton to rezone from R-2 (single family) to M-l (light industrial) property located on the west side of Clay Street N. W. in the 300 block. ROLL CALL VOTE: All councilmen voting YES.
