II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE (Continued)
B. Audience Participation
Attorney Bob Smythe noted that Lloyd Enterprises
had several objections to some of the conditions
stated on the application findings by the hearing
examiner. He asked the City to grant an extension
of permit for continued operations as the permit
expires December 31, 1985. He presented a letter
of objection addressed to the Mayor and City
Council in response to the hearing examiner's fin-
dings and recommendations for public hearings on
Applications No. 19-85 and 22-85.
Mrs. Maris Nickson, 523 Abby Drive, agreed that Lloyd
Enterprises's permit should come before the
Council. Also, she felt the Auburn City streets
were in poor condition during the snow.
Leon Stucki, 724 W. Hi-Crest Dr., stated he has
five acres immediately south of the gravel pit
bordering 1,300 feet on that location. He stated
he would also like to second the idea proposed by
the previous two speakers. He presented statisti-
cal information from the Seattle Times dated
November 3, 1985 regarding condominiums built in
the city. There were approximately 10,581 unsold
condominiums in King County. Of those, approxima-
tely 5,346 have been pulled off the market and
probably rented. He continued with other detailed
statistics. He asked what assurance do we have, if
there were condominiums approved, that they would
not become apartment rentals. He stated there had
been a number of community planning meetings held
at the request of the City Council. The recommen-
dations from those seem to be unanimous; they
wanted to preserve the residential nature and
character of the city, and they were favor of
banks of apartment houses. There should be some
serious discussion, he said. He asked how many
people in the audience would be interested in
having some input to the City Council before a
vote is taken? Several people raised their hands.
Daniel Igielski, 36515-56th Avenue So., asked
questions regarding the development of an
arterial. He stated one of the major issues is
that the roadway is classified as a paved four
lane arterial and is required by the City's
Comprehensive Use Plan. He stated he thought a
four lane arterial would destroy the residential
area. He asked if the City would consider a two
lane road which would be more consistant with the
community. He stated the developer is not
interested in a four land road and the school
district is also opposed to the proposed road. He
strongly urged that the Council have the public
hearing on these development proposals.
Robert Igielski, 31214 - 55th Avenue S., discussed
development limitations due to seismic patterns,
landslide hazards, erosion problems, and soil con-
ditions. He stated the land is no longer in its
native state. It has been altered. Much of the
natural vegetation is gone. Approximately 508 of
the area is considered a moderate landslide hazard,
which is a possible risk. He stated King County's

B. Audience Participation (continued)
Federal Way plan of these areas admits there are deve-
lopment limitations of approximately 808 associated with
this property. He said the proposed 339 dwelling units
on 73.3 acres would give the city a number of dwelling
units per acre. Zoning is R-2 which calls for 6,000
square foot lots. This property development would be
twice as dense as the Sunrise development.
Mayor Roegner asked the Council to consider whether or not
they would like to schedule this subject for a public
hearing at the January meeting.
MOTION by Kurle, SECOND by Walters to schedule a public
hearing on Application 19-85 and 22-85 at the January
6, 1986 Council meeting.
Councilman Whittall requested the hearing be postponed
until the January 20, 1986 Council meeting. Mayor Roegner
asked if there were any problems with the City's ordi-
nances and rules in postponing the hearing. Mr. Dugan
said no. Mayor Roegner noted the staff would do a
quick presentation, petitioners would be granted the
opportunity to present their case, and then a limited
number (4, 5 or 6) residents would have the opportunity
to present testimony. Mr. Dugan said the ordinance
provides for a fresh hearing before the Council and
existing data is part of the record.
Councilman Kurle then MODIFIED the MOTION for the public
hearing to be held at the January 20, 1986 Council
meeting. SECOND by Walters. Councilman Burns questioned
what information is open for hearing. Mr. Dugan said he
would like to clarify that there is no limit on what can
be submitted before the Council, but there is no need to
resubmit that which already had been submitted as all
information presented so far is of record. Councilman
Burns voted no.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Larson suggested the mining permit be pulled
until after the hearings. Councilman Whittall suggested
gravel operations continue until after the public
hearing. Councilman Walters agreed the mining opera-
tions should be extended.
MOTION by Walters, SECOND by Whittall to extend Lloyd's
permit through the duration of the hearings.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
