CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE Public Hearings - None -1- 128 AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE TWO DECEMBER 16, 1985 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 -2- 129 AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE THREE DECEMBER 16, 1985 II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE (continued) 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.
