B. Audience Particioation
A3.6.4.l
Mayor Booth invited citizens in the audience to make any comments or suggestions they
wished to bring to the attention of the City Council.
1. Stan Vickers. 123 "M" Street SE. Auburn
Mr. Stan Vickers stated since he appeared before the City Council on April 4,
1994, he has been advised of additional concerns with regard to his property and
home occupation. Mr. Vickers presented City Council members with copies of
additional correspondence he has received since April 4, 1994. Mr. Vickers
stated that after he tore down his shed, he requested the City of Auburn Codes
Compliance Official Larry Rushing to inspect the teardown. After inspecting the
shed teardown, Mr. Rushing further indicated that the porch and carport must
also be torn down. Mr. Vickers expressed his concern for removing these
structures because the deck, porch and carport were structures in place when he
purchased his home eight years ago. He feels if these structures were a safety
concern, the FHA inspector would have so noted prior to closing of the property
sale.
Mr. Vickers also noted he is not sure how to interpret the Acting City Attorney's
letter of March 24 with regard to home occupation standards which may impact
his baseball card business. Mr. Vickers believes baseball cards falls under the
category of being a collectible item, which exempts his business from possible
home occupation violations.
Councilmembers requested further detail with regard to Mr. Vickers building
code violations. City Attorney Reynolds noted that the property is in violation
of setback requirements. Councilmembers further expressed concern with Mr.
Vickers being cited for structures that have been in place for 12 years.
Councilmembers discussed the drafting of an ordinance that might address
structures that do not meet the setback requirements. Councilmembers requested

city staff take another look at the issues setback and safety issues. Acting City
Attorney was also asked to provide a legal opinion with regard to whether
sportscard trading meets the exemption criteria of being a collectible.
Virginia Moses. 114 M St. S.E.. Auburn. WA
Ms. Moses stated she is a neighbor of Mr. Vickers and wished to expressed
support for him. She noted the neighborhood does not have a problem with Mr.
Vickers property or his business. Ms. Moses further indicated a day care in the
neighborhood causes more of a traffic concern than Mr. Vickers' sportscard
business.
Ms. Moses further stated she has requested city codes official and fire inspection
help over the past 10-years with an older home in the area. She requests her
concerns be addressed.
