Street S.E. in the 800 block.
Mayor Roegner noted an appeal on the Environmental
Determination had been filed and this aspect of the
rezone could not be discussed until the matter was
resolved.
Tom Barghausen, engineer for Hodson, gave a history on
the property and stated that Hodson had been a property
owner in Auburn for 15 years. He reported Hodson had
discussed his plans with the planning staff. Exhibits
A and B showing the Comprehensive Plan and zoning map
for the area were presented. He noted to the Council
that surrounding property had been rezoned to multi-
family. Barghausen noted there would be no access to
28th Street and no traffic to the north. He said on
the 1-1/3 acres five to six duplexes, with a maximum of
seven, were proposed to be built. He presented the
three considerations offered by Hodson if the rezone
was to be approved: 1) The rezone would be limited to
300 ft. north of 29th; 2) Hodson would fence property
with 6 ft. wood fencing; and 3) There would be
installation of a 10 ft. landscape buffer to the west
to buffer the impact to the neighbors.
