Kaufman, Jr., and Connie Beckman. Mr. Kaufman, Jr. distributed a summary of his comments to the City Council. He expressed concern about opening a small business, a tire store, in Auburn located at 3209 Auburn Way South. Mr. Kaufman explained they signed a lease for five years at $3,000 per month. Prior to signing the lease, he said, they checked with the Planning & Development Department. Mr. Kaufman inquired about opening a tire store, and was informed by the receptionist, after a check with the Inspector, there were no problems with the location of his business. Mr. Kaufman said he was referred to the Fire Department. Mr. Kaufman said Dave Smith, Assistant Fire Marshall, warned him about storage requirements of more than 10,000 tires. He assured Dave Smith he had no intention of storing such a large quantity of tires. Mr. Kaufman explained he applied for the proper license, and was shocked to received a letter dated December 16, 1994 informing him the City is unable to process his business registration because the business activity is not an approved use in a C-N zone, Neighborhood Shopping District. Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Kaufman, Jr., and Connie Beckman pleaded with the Council for guidance and consideration in this matter. Connie Beckman - 5630 Orca Drive SE, Tacoma, WA Connie Beckman is the property owner located at 3209 Auburn Way South, previously Jessie's furniture. Ms. Beckman bought the building in Page 3 City of Auburn Council Meetincl Minutes January 3, 1995 1987. She said the zoning changed on her property in 1989 without her knowledge. Ms. Beckman wondered if there was something she could do. Councilmember Brothers questioned Ms. Beckman with regard to zoning on her property. Councilmember Brothers asked Planning Director Krauss what the appropriate uses in a C-1. Mr. Krauss responded the C- 1 zone classification noted on a map Ms. Beckman refers to is from prior zoning classifications. Mr. Krauss pointed out the rezone on Ms. Beckman's property occurred in 1987 when the zoning ordinance was redrafted for the entire city. Mr. Krauss explained the uses allowed in a C-N zone. He said the C-N zone is designed to serve a local neighborhood community with retail stores such as real estate offices, small grocery stores, banks, bakery, ice cream parlors, personal service shops, and professional offices. Mr. Krauss stated C-N zoning requirements are restrictive to auto service. He said what you can have in this zone is a convenience store that has gas pumps as an accessory use. Mr. Krauss clarified that the C-N zone does not for allow auto tire service. Councilmember Brothers questioned what is required for spot zoning from a C-N to Col. Mr. Krauss answered a C-3 zone would accommodate an auto tire store. Councilmember Brothers asked if citizens are routinely referred to the Assistant Fire Marshall Dave Smith. Fire Chief Johnson answered yes. He said they frequently advise business owners of the impacts of the fire code on a proposed business location. Acting City Attorney Michael Reynolds recommended Mr. Kaufman apply for a rezone. Mr. Reynolds explained the rezone application is taken to the Hearing Examiner, a quasi-judicial process,and then it is referred to the City Council. Mr. Reynolds cautioned the Council in taking testimony tonight with regard to the subject property. Mr. Kaufman clarified he currently is in the tire business. Councilmember Haugen urged Mr. Kaufman to pursue options with regard to his proposed business. Ms. Beckman and Mr. Kaufman submitted comments with regard to the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to the tire business application. Mr. Kaufman described his experience when applying for the business registration. Paul Krauss, Planning & Community Development Director, reported his staff investigated the application for business registration for JJ Tire & Wheel. Mr. Krauss stated the question of zoning did not come up during Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetin~i Minutes January 3, 1995 initial discussions. He said the business registration application was routed to departments for review and approval. Mr. Krauss stated it is at this time when problems like this surface. Discussions centered around options of a variance, conditional use permit, and other uses defined in other zoning classifications. Councilmember Wagner requested a reexamination of the C-N zone and a conditional use permit that would be applicable within the zone. Mr. Krauss commented the tire business is an approved use in another district. Mr. Krauss concluded the rezone application is the appropriate process for Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Kaufman Jr., and Ms. Beckman to proceed with. Councilmember Burns explained we cannot instruct staff to not enforce the law. Councilmember Burns noted the Council sets policy, and reviews what city government has done to ensure they are following the policies and rules. Acting City Attorney Reynolds informed the applicant that a variance will not work because it is gained for changes in topographical features on a piece of real property. Mr. Reynolds suggested Mr. Kaufman pursue a rezone application. Bob Coats - 319 36th Avenue SW, Federal Way, WA Bob Coats, property owner in Boundary Unit G of LID 346 located on Auburn Way South, stated 27-letters of protest are on file with regard to LID 346. He said this represents 70%. Mr. Coats asked what happens now? Councilmember Wagner reported the Public Works Committee will review the letters of protest, and make a recommendation to the City Council. Public Works Director stated staff has not evaluated all the protest letters, and that the City's bond counsel will make a determination. Peter B. Lewis - 802 45th Street N.E., Auburn WA Peter B. Lewis, 1 st Vice President of the Greater Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce, stated he supports Ordinance No. 4721. He commented that Ordinance No. 4721 is a common sense solution to a problem we have that puts Auburn in line with the majority of the cities in the state of Washington. John Raeder 4102 B Place, Auburn, WA Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meetira3 Minutes January 3. 1995 John Raeder referred to a letter he wrote to all Councilmembers except Councilmember Kurle.

Councilmember Burns reiterated his concern of the public process. Councilmember Barber stated Councilmembers were aware the proposed ordinance would be before the Council this evening.

Under discussion, Councilmember Brothers asked for a brief summary of what the City hopes to gain by passage of Resolution Page 16 City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes January 3, 1995 No. 2588. Mr. Currie explained these funds are set aside for improvements to the state highway system to assist revitalization of businesses. For example, he said, the race track is moving its location from Longacres to Auburn, and the race track qualifies funding. Mr. Krauss added within the last two years funds were set aside to enable an industry such as Longacres to construct a new facilty in another area. He said the State offers a funding program through a Community Economic Revitalizatoin Board (CERB). It's not a funding program the City is normally eligible for, but in this case we might be, he said. Mr. Krauss explained when the race track was approved, the City agreed to cooperatively work with them to attain those funds, and because the race track applicant is not eligible to make application, the City is applying for funding for public improvements associated with the track. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. 6 Resolution No. 2587 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, approving the preliminary plat of a 176olot single-family subdivision to be known as "Riverwalk" located south of Howard Road, north of the Game Farm Park, within the City of Auburn, Washington. Councilmember Burns asked if the Riverwalk plat is the same as the one presented at the December 19, 1994 Council meeting. Mr. Krauss indicated it is the same as presented, but after looking at the condition of constructing barricades between the proposed subdivision and the existing subdivision it was noticed that an existing home is currently located in the Riverwalk subdivision. Access to the existing home is through the Forest Ridge subdivision, he said. To construct the barricades, Mr. Krauss stated the existing home plus two new homes located in the Riverwalk subdivision will access through the Forest Ridge subdivision. Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Councilmember Barber to adopt Resolution No. 2587. Under discussion, Councilmember Brothers commented on the barricade which he feels is the best of all worlds and compromises in serving the community. Page 17 City of Auburn Council Meetinc~ Minutes January 3, 1995 Councilmember Wagner supports the position of barriers between the two neighborhoods. He said, however, he will be voting against the ordinance because of the 12% grade that enters the Riverwalk plat. Councilmember Borden agreed.
