CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
II. Public Heari
A. Robert Lloyd request to amend ordinances 3549 and
3550 in order to allow him to continue removing
material while he is securing a renewal for another
Special Property Use Permit for his gravel removal
site located east of 60th Avenue S.E. and lying
between South 320th and 15th Street N.W.
Bob Smythe, attorney for Lloyd, stated he received a
letter from Bereiter indicating he felt it was
appropriate for Lloyd to continue his project on the
existing permit pending his new permit renewal
applications. Smythe also noted Bereiter's approval
of the indemnification grant offered at the 10/7/85
Council Meeting releasing the City of Auburn of any
damages if Lloyd is able to continue the project.
Smythe informed the Council that 68 days had elapsed
since the applications had been submitted, and that
it was more than the average time allowed for due
process. He felt the delay was not the fault of
either the applicant or the City, but it was a matter
that had progressed already beyond the ordinary time
to take the Council to consider it and is one reason
why the Council should grant the request. He stated
Lloyd would not process or attempt to process on site
during the extention period. Smythe believed the
' City is presently adequately protected as far as any
concern relative to Lloyd's operation during the
extention. He confirmed Lloyd would indemnify the
City if the action was rescinded. By Lloyd not being
able to participate in his business a financial
burden had been created, mentioned Symthe. The
Council's consideration was requested to grant the
amendments to ordinances 3549 and 3550.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Walters to close the
public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
Mayor Roegner noted Bereiter did not make a
recommendation that the Council continue the request
of Lloyd, but indicated that it would be
appropriate for the Council to consider the request.
Wisner asked Smythe why Lloyd waited until May to
determine if he wanted the same use of the property
or another type of residential property use. Smythe
felt Lloyd probably considered it throughout the term
of the permit, but not until multi-family dwellings
had been an accumulating issue had Lloyd realized the
need to re-evaluate the project. Wisner asked if
Lloyd was aware that processing was prohibited on the
southwest 40 acres, but was not on the north site.
Smythe replied that Lloyd had insisted he was on the
north portion of the property. Wisner questioned how
long ago the processing equipment had been
dismantled. About the time the original permit
expired, Smythe responded. Dugan was asked if Lloyd

II. Public Hearings (continued)
was advised of the amendment to the original
ordinance prohibiting the use of a crusher on both
north and south sites. Dugan stated the only
ordinance which authorized the use of a crusher,
which applied to the north half, was passed in 1977
and expired in 1982. The ordinance that was passed
in 1980 prohibiting the operation of a crusher on the
north site was acknowledged by Lloyd. There are
records of his testimony. Smythe confirmed Wisner's
statement that if the extention was granted until
12/31/85, Lloyd would not process any more gravel on
the site.
Larson questioned Bereiter under what circumstances
was the passage of the ordinance in 1980. Bereiter
referred the question to Dugan. Dugan stated it was
on the applications for renewal of both ordinances.
The ordinance for the south site expired in 1980. At
that time Lloyd applied for renewal for both sites
even though the ordinance had not expired for the
north.
Wisner asked Dugan if in 1977 a permit was issued to
Lloyd until 1980. Dugan replied permits were issued
in 1975 on both sites, and expired in 1980. In the
interim, because Lloyd desired to operate a crusher
on the sites, Lloyd applied for a permit and an
ordinance was passed in 1977 to operate a crusher for
five years. In 1980, the base permits expired, and
Lloyd applied for renewals. Only one ordinance was
signed, and Dugan remarked he did not know the reason
behind it. '
Whittall questioned if there was a limit to the
amount of gravel to be removed. Dugan replied that
the City's regulatory interest, from all the permits
that have been issued, has been regarding the final
slopes. Regulation of the amount of material to be
removed has not been done to determine final slope.
A reporting of the amount is required in order to
keep progress of the activities on the site.
Mayor Roegner asked about the progress of the
activites in regards to the sloping. The southern
site, upper part of the pit, is getting close to
those slopes. Most of the remaining work is on the
northern site which is the lower part of the pit near
15th Street. There isn't a great deal of material
left to be removed on the south, Dugan responded.
Whittall asked Dugan if there would be any reason why
two and a half more months of removing gravel would
be bad for the sloping activities. Dugan felt there
were none.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Larson to approve the ,
extention of the permit through 12/31/85 with a
provisional that the City would be indemnified,

to C-4 (without conditions) and a rezone from Unclassified
to C-4 property 4.10 acres in size and located on the
southeast corner of 52nd and "G" Street N.E.
Bob Smythe, attorney for Robison, referred to his
correspondence of October 16, 1985 to the Planning
Commission requesting reconsideration of Robison's
application for rezone. He requested the public
hearing be continued so the Planning Commission could
have the opportunity to review it at the next
Planning Commission meeting and determine if they
wished to consider it. The reconsideration included
a request to have the contract zoning continued for
an additional five years rather than the one year
period recommended by the Planning Commission. A
document signed by J. Eddie Ryan, member of the
Planning Commission, requesting the Planning
Commission hear the Request for Reconsideration was
given to the Council.
