permit to allow for the excavation of 200,000 cubic yards of material
needed to accommodate the construction of a 176-lot single family

south of Howard Road, north of the Game Farm Park, and west of the
existing Forest Ridge subdivision.
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
December 19, 1994
Page No. 3
Mayor Booth asked for Council disclosure of any exparte communication
regarding the proposed development of River Walk.
All Councilmembers were contacted by Mary Moon, resident living near the
proposed development, except Councilmember Kurle. During the conversations
with Ms. Moon explained her position with regard to the proposed development.
Councilmembers felt contact with Ms. Moon would not compromise their ability
to fairly judge this issue.
Councilmember Haugen stated she was approached personnally and by
telephone in the last year and a half to two years with regard to the proposed
development. Councilmember Haugen said at all times she was unable to
answer specific questions.
Councilmember Barber stated she was contacted by residents who reside in
neighboring subdivisions. Councilmember Barber stated she feels she can
make a fair decision on the proposed development.
Councilmember Kurle stated he spent an hour with Ron and Mary Ellen Schultz
discussing traffic mitigation and traffic circles.
Lynn Rued, Senior Planner, briefly described the proposed preliminary plat
development of 176 lot single family subdivision. He said the site, formerly
known as the Mead gravel pit, was left in a condition that requires more grading
to accommodate the proposed subdivision. He said a number of studies were
conducted that included traffic, wetlands, utilities and geotechnical.
Mr. Rued stated the environmental review, initiated by the developer, resulted in
issuance of a Final Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance that contains 29
mitigating conditions. He said an Environmental Impact Statement was not
required because the project is small and the impacts are localized.
Mr. Rued commented on traffic issues that have caused the greatest amount of
concern from neighboring residents over the past few months. Directing
attention to the overhead projector, he discussed the proposed access streets
between two existing single family neighborhoods; one to the east and two to the
west.
Referring to the subdivision to the east, Mr. Rued pointed out in 1961, the Forest
Ridge subdivision was platted with 2-stub streets that eventually would link up
the existing subdivsion to the proposed development. This is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and development standards, he said. Mr. Rued highlighted
connection streets in the proposed development that provide through access
from 29th Street SE to Dogwood Street. Other access through the site would
connect R Street SE to Howard Road that would carry through traffic through to
the Forest Ridge area. Because the topography of the proposed development
slopes downward to the west, Mr. Rued explained multiple accesses provide
better circulation for school buses, meter readers, and UPS trucks within
proposed subdivision and Forest Ridge subdivision.

Page NO.4
Mr. Rued finalized his comments by addressing wetlands, stability of the site,
and water pressure. He stated the application conforms to all the existing zoning
requirements, conforms to subidivison requirements, and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan in providing utilities, parks, and mitigates for wetlands.
Steve Mullen, Traffic Engineer, discussed several issues in development of the
arterial route to connect up to the plateau, give another route up the hill so we
are not dependent upon Auburn Way South and Howard Road. He mentioned
some of the mitigating measures to offset the impacts of the development, such
as participation in traffic signals at 29th & A Street S.E., and 29th & R Street
S.E.. It was noted a traffic signal will be installed at Howard Road and Auburn
Way south as part of the Muckleshoot Gambling Casino project. Mr. Mullen
discussed a concern of cut through traffic through the Forest Ridge
neighborhood and River Walk development rather than use of a main arterial
route. Traffic studies were conducted and it was found that people would not cut
through the neighborhood because it was faster to stay on the main arterials.
Mr. Mullen suggested options to develop intersections to alievate concern of
traffic cutting through the neighboring subdivision.
Larry Smith - 1420 5th Avenue, 33rd floor, Seattle WA 98101
Larry Smith, Land Use Counsel for Centex Homes, offered to answer any
questions the Council may have. Mr. Smith introduced Jesus Molineau,
Landmark, Inc.
Jesus Molineau - 1130 140th Avenue, Suite 200, Bellevue, WA 98005
Jesus Molineau is the Principal Planner with Landmark and project manager for
the River Walk project. Mr. Molineau handed out a brochure related to the
proposed Preliminary Plat for River Walk. He shared some of the detail with
regard to alternative routes and intersections effecting neighboring subdivsions.
Mr. Molineau shared street design options examined in planning the proposed
plat to connect the proposed development to the Forest Ridge subidivison. Mr.
Molineau directed attention to the brochure that shows examples of the kind of
homes Centex Homes will be building in the proposed development. He said the
project was developed on the basis of the concerns raised by the City and
community.
Terry Gibson - 1712 Pacific, Everett WA 98201
Terry Gibson, Gibson Traffic Consultants, answered a question raised with
regard to the effectiveness of traffic circles. Mr. Gibson believes traffic circles
deter speed and reduce traffic. Having a traffic light at Howard Road and
Auburn Way South will alievate some concerns raised by Forest Ridge
residents, he said. Mr. Gibson directed attention to the traffic light, proposed at
Auburn Way South and Dogwood Street, that will assist residents of the
proposed development in making a left hand turn onto Auburn Way South rather
than going through the Forest Ridge development.
Larry Smith -
Larry Smith stated traffic is the main concern of property owners in the
neighboring subdivision. Mr. Smith felt connection of the two stub streets to
Forest Ridge would not create an increase in traffic.

Duncan Boniorni - 2845 Alpine Street S.E., Auburn WA
Duncan Bonjorni is a resident of Forest Ridge. Mr. Bonjorni spoke about traffic
and water pressure. Mr. Bonjorni recalled a slide area that engineers predicted
would not slide; and it did. Mr. Bonjorni disagrees with opening traffic onto
Alpine Street. At the end of the public hearing with regard to the proposed plat
development, Mr. Bonjorni commented upon access to the proposed
development.
Sandy Webb - 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton WA
Mr. Webb introduced himself, and stated he is an Engineer. Mr. Webb
cautioned the City about traffic circles. Illumination is needed, he said. Later in
the public hearing, Mr. Webb discussed access to the top of the hill above the
"S" curves in Renton. If there is an emergency at the bottom of the hill the
access is opened. Mr. Webb suggested the Council consider having an
emergency access gate to the development that opens and closes during an
emergency.
Dan Dumas - 2640 Forest Ridge Drive South, Auburn WA
Dan Dumas felt the Forest Ridge residents are providing a solution to the
proposed development. Mr. Dumas predicted an impact of 350-400 cars as a
result of River Walk property development, and increased crime and speeding
cars in the Forest Ridge area.
Carol Pullev - 32242 56th S, Auburn WA
Carol Pulley introduced herself to the Council, and mentioned she owns property
in Lakeland Hills and Forest Ridge. Ms. Pulley's comments centered around an
increase in traffic and 12% street grade off of Howard Road. Ms. Pulley
wondered about enlarging Howard Road. She suggested leaving the Forest
Ridge stubbed streets closed.
David Unzen - 2507 R Street S.E., Auburn WA
David Unzen, resident of a neighboring subdivision to the west of the proposed
development, explained there are residents that are concerned about this
development that live near him even though no mention of opposition was
recorded in the Hearing Examiner's report. Mr. Unzen expressed concern
regarding pedestrian traffic and vehicle traffic in the surrounding area of 29th &
R Street S.E. Mr. Unzen wondered if changes in the street deisgn are made, will
the current traffic study be null and void?
Jim Fletcher - 2710 Forest Ridge Drive, Auburn WA
Jim Fletcher expressed concern with regard to traffic volume and property
values as a result of the proposed development. Because residents have
enjoyed a secluded neighborhood for such a long time, he expressed concern of
the safety of the children playing within the Forest Ridge subdivision.
Gene Campson - 2520 24th Street S.E., Auburn WA
Gene Campson expressed concern about the water pressure already lost in his
neighborhood.
Rick Rutkowskii - 2554 Forest Ridge Drive, Auburn WA

Page No.6
Mr. Rutkowski reiteriated comments made during the each public hearing held
with regard to the proposed plat. He said people are concerned about the
proposed development of River Walk because of increased crime and traffic.
Mr. Rutkowski suggested the Council take the strongest measure possible to
maintain the integrity of the neighborhood, and to honor the requests of the
residents to keep the stubbed streets closed to the proposed development.
Justine Under - 2726 Alpine Drive SE, Auburn WA
Justine Under expressed concern about the water pressure, an increase in
crime, safety, and property values in the Forest Ridge area as a result of the
new development. She said when 24th & 25th Streets S.E. were added, the
water pressure lowered. Keep water self contained and utilize positioning of the
utility lines were some suggestions made by Ms. Under.
LaNae Lonae Redinaton - 2742 Alpine Drive S.E., Auburn WA
Ms. Redington commented on the response of Hearing Examiner decision
documentated on October 18, 1994. Having been a resident of the City of
Federal Way, Ms. Redington asked if the Council is aware of that City's
mistakes. Mr. Redington asked the Council to consider all aspects of the
proposed development prior to making a decision.
Mizel Pfeiffer - 2002 R Place SE, Auburn WA
Mr. Pfeiffer is a property owner west of the proposed development. Mr. Pfeiffer
expressed concern of increased traffic on the corner of 28th Place & R Street

Street S.E.
Dan Dumas - 2640 Forest Ridge Drive S., Auburn, WA
Mr. Dumas brought up two points. One with regard to water pressure and the
proposed development.
Marv Moon - 2720 Forest Ridge Drive S, Auburn WA
Mary Moon stated she is elected to represent the people in audience tonight as
the precinct committee woman for most of the area. Ms. Moon stated she has
three major concerns and one observation. Concerns centered around wildlife,
traffic and access roads, and the quality of life being disrupted in the Forest
Ridge neighborhood. Ms. Moon stated the Council should advocate the
concerns of residents.
Ms. Moon assured residents in the audience that they have representatives on
the Council who are concerned about the wishes of residents of the community.
Later in the meeting, Ms. Moon emphasized an opportunity to have a win win
situation in development of the proposed plat. She also pointed out three
accesses into the proposed development.
Patricia Wells - 2725 25th Street S.E., Auburn WA
Patricia Wells remembered the reasons she chose to live in Auburn. She feels
secure, and would like to keep her neighborhood that way. Ms. Wells feels the

Page No. 7
Sherry Berber - 2735 Forest Ridge Drive SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Berber is a new resident of the Forest Ridge area. With regard to the
proposed development, Ms. Berber feels there are too many houses crammed
into a small piece of property, and has a concern about the same people that
have the same attitude that she does with regard to traffic.
Jeanie Rottle - 2500 Forest Ridge Drive S.E., Auburn WA
Ms. Rottle is concerned about water pressure, crime, access and traffic. As a
teacher, Ms. Rottle teaches her children that city govenment works and that a
small voice can be heard. She feels they are not going to be heard tonight. Ms.
Rottle urged the Council to listen and understand the concerns raised by
residents tonight, and that two accesses are adequate to serve the development.
Larrv Smith
Mr. Smith directed his comments to the future residents of the proposed
development of River Walk. Mr. Smith wondered why neighboring residents feel
future residents will not be motivated to take care of their property and
neighbors. Mr. Smith discussed the access points and water pressure issues.
Access points are developed according to policy, he said, and there are
alternatives to connecting the stub streets to Forest Ridge. Emergency gates
are an alternative even though staff does not recommend it due to public safety
issues. Mr. Smith concluded his comments by stating that Centex builds a
quality home, is the largest home builder in the country, and will provide a
quality neighborhood for neighboring subdivisions.
Diane Kerbs 2650 Forest Ridge Drive SE, Auburn WA
Ms. Kerbs asked what impact this development will have on the Auburn School
District.
Lynn Rued answered that a number of agencies were provided with a copy of
the applications for review and comment. He said the Auburn School District
had a chance to comment upon the effects of the proposed development of
River Walk. Mr. Rued mentioned the Auburn community is historically
supportive of bond issues which support improvements in the Auburn School
District.
John Redinaton - 2742 Alpine Drive S.E., Auburn WA
In response to Mr. Smith's comments with regard to future residents of the
proposed development, Mr. Redington asked why assume these residents want
us cutting through their property.
Ruthie Dumas - 2640 Forest Ridge Drive S.E., Auburn, WA
Ms. Dumas expressed concern about the lot size in the new development. Ms.
Dumas suggested the developer make the lots larger bordering the Forest Ridge
area.
Lance Goehrina - 2715 Forest Ridge Drive SE, Auburn WA
Mr. Geohring raised the issue of emergency access.
Bob Johnson spoke on behalf of the Fire Department. He said firefighters teach
that there needs to be two ways in and two ways out. He said this applies street
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
December 19, 1994
Page No. 8
accesses in proposed developments. Due to the increase in traffic on Auburn
Way South, Mr. Johnson stressed opening the existing stub streets to the new
development will provide two public safety accesses to the Forest Ridge
subdivision instead of one.
Chief Purdy discussed the Police Department response to emergencies as it
relates to the proposed development of River Walk. He said response time will
be shorter having two accesses to the Forest Ridge plateau area. Chief Purdy
identified the primary problem in uneven distribution of the street access should
the stub streets not cut through. Chief Purdy remembered an incident where an
officer received an emergency call to a house he could see from his patrol car,
but was unable to reach the residence immediately because the street access
limited the officer to one access. Chief Purdy recommended two accessess to
each subdivision..
Mr. Goehring asked the staff if they could live without the access roads that
connect Forest Ridge to the proposed development, and if the public safety
departments could function adequately to protect and serve residents of Forest
Ridge as it stands right now?
Chief Purdy responded by questioning whether or not the residents on either side
of the propsed development could live with it. Mr. Geohring answered that he
felt the residents of Forest Ridge have addressed their wishes with regard to the
stubbed streets. Mr. Goehring.stated he cannot answer for the future residents
of River Walk. Chief Purdy reiterated that emergency services are distributed
equally to all the residents of the community.
Don Miller - 2712 Alpine Drive S.E., Auburn WA
Mr. Miller has lived in this area for twenty years. Mr. Miller stated the Police
Department patrols the area twice a day. Mr. Miller discussed the school impact,
traffic concerns, a portion of a street the Rotary Club gave to the City,
playground equipment at the Rotary Park, and options for improvements where
the street stubs would connect to the proposed development.
Motion by Council member Burns, second by Councilmember Barber to close the
public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Mayor Booth announced a 5-minute recess at 10:05 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 10:15 p.m.
Councilmember Burns moved to approve the preliminary plat based upon the
Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact and Conclusion and Conditions as outlined
adding the two connecting streets between the two housing developments be
closed to access except by emergency vehicles of the Police and Fire.
Councilmember Kurle seconded the motion.
Under discussion, some of the Councilmembers agreed there is consensus
between the existing property owners and the developer in design of connecting
AUBURN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
December 19, 1994
Page No. 9
the proposed development of River Walk with Forest Ridge. Clarification of a
secured emergency gate access acceptable to public safety personnel was
discussed as a way to develop the streets and limit the access to Forest Ridge.
Councilmember Borden questioned the developers ability to put another access
street in without a connection to the Forest Ridge area. Jesus Molineau
answered there would be extensive fill required off of Howard Road, a 50%
grade, and they would have to use a critical sensitive area. With 26% open
space provided in the River Walk development, Mr. Molineau, stated the lots are
bigger than minimum. Other discussion centered around developments in
Auburn that are only served by one access.
Councilmember Haugen asked how many acres are in the Forest Ridge area.
Mr. Rued stated the two developments are comparable in size at approximately
50 acres.
Councilmember Wagner supports a barrier emergency access connecting from
the River Walk area to Forest Ridge. Councilmember Wagner suggested staff
take another look at the traffic impacts in the area to the west of the
development. He also expressed concern of a single street access connecting
the River Walk proposed development to Howard Road that is designed at a
12% grade. Councilmember Wagner suggested staff look at development of
another street access that connects to the proposed development.
Council member Haugen concurred with Mr. Wagner's comments.
Councilmember Kurle recommended more circular streets within the
development, and perhaps redesign the streets within the development.
Council member Burns called for the question on .the motion.
Ken Kruger, Project Manager and a registered civil engineer, expressed concern
of the elevation of the property within the River Walk development. He said an
additional access, built to City standards, would have an impact to the wetlands.
Mr. Kruger pointed out the Forest Ridge area, developed 20 years ago, planned
for a connection to the proposed River Walk development property by including
two stub streets. He agreed to construct the access streets to the stub streets to
connect the Forest Ridge subdivision to the proposed River Walk plat with
emergency gates to limit traffic impacts. Mr. Kruger confirmed that the plat
applications as proposed meets with City standards.
Mayor Booth called for the vote as stated. Those Council members who voted
no included Council member Borden, Councilmember Wagner, and
Councilmember Haugen. A request was made to repeat the motion and the
vote.
The motion was repeated by Councilmember Burns. Councilmember Burns
