Speaking against this issue in hopes the Council would overrule the Hearing Examiner decision, Mr. Lyle commented on the number of senior citizens living in the area, the Kentucky Fried Chicken business establishment, and other group homes in the area. Mr. Lyle felt this neighborhood has done more than their fair share. Dick Brugger - 11234 S.E. 322nd Street, Auburn, W A Dick Brugger is the Executive Director of Auburn Youth Resources. Mr. Brugger responded to Mr. Lyle's comments. He stated the home will be used for transitional housing for homeless youth ages 18 and older who have either previously lived in another Auburn Youth Resource facility or have been referred and have proven ready to begin emancipation. No more than seven young people will reside in the home at anyone time. Mr. Brugger described the amenities this particular location provides for the youth. The program rules apply to the youths during their stay. Rules such as the youths are not allowed to have cars, no drug or alcohol on the premises, all guests will be monitored, and the youths are required to respect the neighborhood. Mr. Brugger concluded his comments by stating there will be at least one or two staff persons who will provide supervision at the residence. Dorothy Frye - 1420 Auburn Way South, Auburn, WA Dorothy Frye is a neighboring resident of the current South King County Youth shelter for younger teens located on off of Auburn Way South. Dorothy Frye sympathized with neighboring residents remembering when the Auburn Way South shelter was first proposed next door to her business. During this time, she has not had a reason to file one complaint with regard to the group home next door to her. Ms. Frye stated it has been one of the nicest things to have happened to these kids and the neighborhood. Sharon Hoganson - 1301 M Street S.E., Auburn, WA Sharon Hoganson is neighboring resident of the current South King County Youth Shelter. Ms. Hoganson remembered when the first facility was being proposed. At that time many residents located near the Library expressed concern of troubled youths living in their area. Ms. Hoganson said up until January two youth homes were located in her neighborhood. Other typical private family homes located in her neighborhood have caused Ms. Hoganson more problems. They have had wild parties, shot bottle rockets into her yard, and have pulled up her flowers. Ms. Hoganson stated she has not had a reason to file a complaint with regard to the group home. Ms. Hoganson encouraged support of the youth home. PAGE 2 CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING June I, 1992 George Osborne - 1402 22nd Street N.E. #111, Auburn, WA George Osborne is President emeritus of Auburn Youth Resources. Mr. Osborne said this is something neighboring residents can be proud of in their back yard. He ensured there would be supervision and control at all times, things that you can't control in a private home. Bill Mitchell - 808 10th Street N.E., Auburn, W A Mr. Mitchell is a neighboring resident in the area of the proposed youth home.
