Announcements and Appointments
1. Announcement
Six-Year Bus Transit Plan
Diane Harper, Transit Planner for Metropolitan King County,
made a brief presentation with regard to the Six-Year Bus
Transit Plan. Ms. Harper presented the following three
questions to the City Council regarding transit service in South
King County: how well do proposed service improvements
address the needs and concerns of your community; how much
City of Aubum Council Meeting Minutes February 21, 1995
change are current customers willing to accept; and what
elements of these alternatives would you recommend we
include in the proposed plan?
Ms. Harper explained Metro is required to have a Six Year Plan
regardless of whether or not the Regional Transit Authority
(RTA) vote is affirmative. Ms. Harper stated Metro is seeking
guidance from elected officials, employer networks, and a
selected citizen advisory group on two alternatives which Metro
has developed for service for the next six years. Ms. Harper
stated Metro will be prepared to come back in April with a
proposed bus transit service plan that includes other kinds of
services that either integrates with the RTA or goes ahead on
its own. Ms. Harper distributed copies of a report entitled
"Report on Six Year Plan and Service Alternatives, South King
County Subarea" to the City Council.
Ms. Harper stated Metro is asking for the City Council's advice
on which alternative to plan bus service around for the next six
years. Ms. Harper explained the advice of City Council will be
taken to SCATBD which is the South County Area
Transportation Board for a vote on February 28, 1995.
Ms. Harper stated Metro research revealed that more
employment is occurring in South King County and people want
more flexibility in their local services as well as more services
directed toward South King County employment destinations.
Ms. Harper explained they have two overall objectives for the
next six years: to increase the variety of access to South King
County destinations and to increase the market share in some
selected South King County markets as opposed to Metro's
traditional focus on Seattle.
Ms. Harper highlighted Page 8 of the report titled Innovative
Products Ideas (for) Commuter Market which describes other
forms of bus service in addition to the fixed route transit which
90% of Metro's resources is devoted to. The other forms of
service include shuttle, circulator, vanpools, custom bus,
additional work on carpools and other forms of services that will
be more flexible for the commuters in South King County.
Ms. Harper reviewed Page 9 of the report titled Innovative
Product Ideas - Local Mobility. This portion of the report
describes services such as Dial-a-ride (DART) and other local
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes February 21, 1995
mobility options which will be available with the adoption of the
Six Year Plan.
Ms. Harper explained no new taxes will be required to fund
these services and explained the financial resources for funding
the services. Ms. Harper stated King County Executive Locke
has proposed moving current tax revenues in the amount of $20
million from capital to services which will be distributed
according to projected populations in the year 2000. According
to the population projections, South King County will receive
36% of the new services.
Ms. Harper stated further funding will come from the
consolidation of underutilized portions of today's system. This
means bus trips which are not full will be consolidated. She
also stated funding for services will come from partnerships with
local jurisdictions and employers much like the partnership
Metro has with the City of Auburn for funding a portion of the
DART service in Auburn. Ms. Harper stated if the RTA passes,
then new resources over the next six years will be commuter
rail and regional bus.
Ms. Harper explained the South King County Subarea has two
alternatives, baseline and multicenter. The major difference
between the two is that baseline is very much like today's
service and has very minimal changes, while multicenter
includes significant changes to the existing customers,
increases in north-south and east-west major services,
consolidation of peak services, and involves the concept of
transferring from local neighborhood service to peak hour trips
to Seattle. Ms. Harper stated the cost for baseline services is
$49.7 million and the cost for multicenter is $48.4 million. Ms.
Harper explained the cost amounts are differenct because the
multicenter alternative includes funding on vanpools and other
services which are not computed by adding hours of service on
the road. The other difference is in hours--multicenter includes
836,000 hours while baseline includes 818,000 hours. Ms.
Harper noted the difference in the funding and hours is
attributed to different types of services and their cost
differential.
Ms. Harper noted that under the existing system, 71% of the
hours are in routes destined for Seattle while the baseline
alternative provides for 61% of the hours in routes destined for
Seattle and under the multicenter alternative 36% of the hours
Page 3
City of Aubum Council Meetinq Minutes February 21, 1995
are in routes destined for Seattle. Ms. Harper also pointed out
that under the existing system 18% of the hours are in
intercommunity and local routes while the baseline alternative
provides for 28% of the hours in intercommunity and local
routes and the multicenter alternative provides for 56% of the
hours in intercommunity and local routes.
Ms. Harper displayed the Baseline Alternative map from the
report which includes today's services with an increase in
service between Green River Community College and Federal
Way to every half hour, increases in some of the north-south
routes, and a little extra in local DART service areas. Under the
multicenter alternative under peak hours there are only three
routes going up Interstate 5, route 152 does not go out to
Enumclaw, a route from Boeing through industrial Kent and into
Renton is added, and an Auburn to Kent and Sea-Tac route is
added.
Ms. Harper stated Metro believes the multicenter alternative
better suits the needs of the community; however, current
customers would prefer the baseline alternative.
Councilmember Brothers asked how Metro plans to make the
multicenter approach more appealing than the baseline
alternative. Ms. Harper stated as Metro offers more convenient
local trips and provides transfer stations that are secure and
convenient, hopefully the ridership will increase.
Councilmember Brothers stated that from his experience in
riding Metro, the service is less than satisfactory.
Councilmember Brothers stated his bus stop was not covered
and there were no services nearby. Ms. Harper stated Metro
realizes it needs to upgrade its facilities.
Councilmember Haugen stated she agrees with Councilmember
Brothers' statements, and added the service needs to be more
comfortable and the drivers more flexible to their riders. Ms.
Harper suggested the comments regarding customer appeal
should be included in the City of Auburn's recommendation to
SCATBD.
Councilmember Burns stated the multicenter plan is appealing
and would fit in the Auburn community well. Councilmember
Burns asked if the anticipated changes in services would also
make it easier for commuters in the south end to travel to the
Page 4
City of Aubum Council Meetinq Minutes February 21, 1995
bo
east side area, such as to Bellevue and Kirkland. Ms. Harper
stated commuters would have to travel to either Renton or
Tukwila and transfer. Ms. Harper stated only 7% of the total
south commuter market goes to the east side while 50% of the
commuter market stays in the south.
Ms. Harper thanked the City Council for their questions and
comments, and stated she looked forward to hearing from the
City of Auburn through the SCATBD process.
Re!:lional Transit Authority
Mr. Freeman, Planning and Communication Director from the
Regional Transit Authority (RTA), made a brief presentation
and slide show on RTA's overall proposal on the Commuter Rail
and Bus Plan. Mr. Freeman distributed brochures on the
Regional Transit System Phase I Proposal to be voted on by
Puget Sound area voters March 14, 1995. Mr. Freeman
explained the Regional Transit Authority is the authority
established by the State of Washington to develop a rail plan
for the three county regions of Snohomish, King and Pierce
Counties. The Board of the RTA and the County Councils of
the three counties adopted the Phase I proposal which will be
voted on by the voters March 14. Mr. Freeman explained the
Phase I Proposal consists of three different modes of commuter
rail which will operate from Lakewood (south of Tacoma) to
Everett on the present freight railroad network. The proposal
includes upgrading the present railroad, improving the signals,
and improving the track in order to maintain a high rate of
speed. The proposal also includes light rail from Tacoma to
Lynnwood and regional trunk bus.
Mr. Freeman explained an alternative transportation system is
needed to accommodate the projected population growth and
traffic congestion.
Mr. Freeman stated the Phase 1 Proposal will take
approximately 16 years to construct and the Master Plan
includes future phases. Mr. Freeman stated the RTA is
considering a single fare system where the commuter would
pay the applicable fare before boarding and not be required to
pay again when crossing county lines.
Mr. Freeman stated the RTA has a demonstration commuter
train operating between Tacoma and Seattle for the next two
weeks. Mr. Freeman stated when the system is operating, it will
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes February 21, 1995
operate 24 hours a day, every 60 minutes during the base
period and every 30 minutes during the peak period with a
capacity of 6,000 people during peak hours. Mr. Freeman
displayed several slides depicting types of trains operating in
Boston, South Florida, and Toronto. Mr. Freeman stated the
demonstration cars are similar to the ones operating in South
Florida and are the type the RTA plans to operate. Mr.
Freeman stated tickets for the transit will be purchased from
self-service vending machines on the honor system. The self-
service fare system will enable the RTA to effectively operate
with a two-person crew.
Mr. Freeman explained the light rail system is a 60 mile system
from Tacoma consisting of three corridors. The north corridor
goes via Capitol Hill and the tunnel and into the University
District. The south corridor goes through the Rainier Valley to
Sea-Tac Airport, Federal Way and into Tacoma. The east
corridor goes across the 1-90 bridge into Bellevue and
Overlake. The system can carry between 6,000 and 11,000
people per hour per direction.
Mr. Freeman displayed several slides depicting the various light
rail systems and their environs in the cities of Sacramento,
California; Hamburg, Germany; Portland, Oregon; San Jose,
California; Los Angeles-Long Beach, California; San
Diego,California, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; Calgary, Canada;
and San Francisco, California.
Mr. Freeman stated a bus system that complements the rail
system is important to the rail system's success. The rail
system will allow utilization of the bus system more efficiently
and effectively, allow it to carry large amounts of people in a
short time, and provide many more options for transporting
commuters to their destinations.
Mr. Freeman stated the budget for the Phase I project is $6.7
billion financed by 0.4% sales tax and 0.3% motor vehicle
excise tax together with anticipated federal and state
contributions totalling $2 billion.
Councilmember Brothers asked if the Transit Authority has
made any projections on fare prices. Mr. Freeman stated no
projections have been made as yet as they are still reviewing
possible fare structures.
Page 6
City of Aubum Council Meetin.q Minutes February 21, 1995
Councilmember Haugen asked how the fare system will work.
Mr. Freeman explained commuters will purchase tickets from a
vending machine before boarding. Mr. Freeman stated
inspectors will board trains at random to inspect for proof of fare
payment. Mr. Freeman said significant fines will be utilized to
deter violators of the self-service fare system.
Councilmember Barber asked Mr. Freeman how long it will take
to have the system in place if the RTA system is approved by
voters. Mr. Freeman stated the construction phase is 16 years,
however some portions will be up and running long before then.
Mr. Freeman estimated the south corridor system should be in
place by the year 2000, and the commuter rail system between
Lakewood and Everett should be operational in about three
years. Mr. Freeman stated the environmental analyses that
need to be conducted will take some time.
Councilmember Borden asked if the RTA considered elevated
light rail. Mr. Freeman stated portions of the light rail will be in
tunnels, elevated, and on the surface.
In response to a question from Councilmember Haugen, Mr.
Freeman stated the stations hopefully will become the focal
point for commercial activities and other community activities.
2. Appointments - None.

CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
Public Hearin,qs
Application Number REZ0003-94
03.8 REZ0003-94
The request of Jimmy Harkey and Dick Brugger, Auburn Youth
Resources, to rezone from C-1, Light Commercial zone, to C-3,
Heavy Commercial zone, on property 3.61 acres in size and
located on east side of Auburn Way North between 37th and
40th Street N.E. in the City of Auburn.
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meetin;i Minutes February 21, 1995
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m.
Senior Planner Lynn Rued stated the rezone request is from an
existing C-1 light commercial zoning to a C-3 heavy commercial
zone. Mr. Rued stated the property has been zoned C-1 for a
long time and the property has been vacant for a long time. Mr.
Rued stated the Comprehensive Plan designates the area as
appropriate for heavy commercial uses. Mr. Rued stated it was
not zoned C-3 because of the concern for the multi-family
residences east of the property and the fact that C-3 zoning
allows for outdoor type activity and outdoor repair. Mr. Rued
stated another concern is the number of uses and driveways for
the area because of the seven separate lots. Mr. Rued stated
the property owners have had a difficult time in marketing and
developing the property.
Senior Planner Rued stated that after working with the property
owner, staff is recommending a type of contract rezone which
would limit the amount of access to Auburn Way North to three
separate driveways, preclude any outdoor storage or outdoor
repair type uses, and require a substantial landscape buffer on
the east side of the project to help buffer the multi-family
residences to the east.
Councilmember Brothers asked what the permitted uses are in
a C-3 zone. Senior Planner Rued stated the list contained in
the City Code is quite extensive but includes such types of
activities as restaurants, automobile repair, dental offices,
professional offices, and dry cleaners. Mr. Rued stated that the
difference between this C-3 zoning and other C-3 zoning is that
all activity would have to occur inside the buildings.
Councilmember Haugen asked if a muffler shop could be
located in the proposed C-3 zone. Senior Planner Rued stated
that all repair and storage would have to be in the building.
Councilmember Haugen asked what types of activities are
allowed in a C-1 zone. Senior Planner Rued stated primarily
everything that is allowed in a C-3 zone with the exception of
any business activity that is outside or is automobile related.
Councilmember Haugen asked if Auburn Youth Resources
owns a portion of the property, and if so, are they using the
property at this time. Senior Planner Rued stated Auburn Youth
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meetin.q Minutes February 21, 1995
Resources owns Lot 8, and they are interested in marketing the
property.
Councilmember Haugen asked if there are sidewalks adjacent
to the property. Senior Planner Rued stated if there are no
sidewalks at this time, sidewalks will be required as part of
development.
Councilmember Borden asked if the conditions placed on this
C-3 zone would preclude drive-up banks, drive-up restaurants,
emission testing stations and other like businesses. Senior
Planner Rued stated the conditions would preclude them.
Wendy Belcheff, 4040 "1" Street N.E., Auburn
Mrs. Belcheff stated that her experience with a neighboring C-3
zone is that it creates a lot of noise and traffic. Mrs. Belcheff
asked which property owners would be required to upgrade the
intersections. Senior Planner Rued stated the developers
would be required to enter into a Traffic Mitigation Agreement.
Mrs. Belcheff stated the intersection at 40th Street N.E. is not
very wide, and she is concerned with the increase in traffic in
the neighborhood of her residence.
Councilmember Haugen stated she has discovered that a very
large group of property owners in North Auburn do not intend to
construct sidewalks as part of LID 346. Councilmember
Haugen stated the property owners have protested the LID, and
she understands they will be excluded because they have a
majority in their groups. Senior Planner Rued stated City
ordinance requires that when a property is developed, the
developer is required to construct sidewalks.
Councilmember Brothers stated he is familiar with the
properties behind the requested rezone. Councilmember
Brothers stated the rezone request should not be honored as it
may jeopardize the neighborhood east of the proposed rezone.
Councilmember Haugen
Councilmember Brothers.
stated she concurs with
Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Councilmember
Borden to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.
Page 9
City of Aubum Council Meeting Minutes February 21, 1995
Motion by Councilmember Burns, second by Councilmember
Borden to approve the rezone based upon the Hearing
Examiner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Conditions, and
to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
Ordinance.
Councilmember Burns spoke in favor of the rezone.
Councilmember Bums stated the proposal is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. He stated that during the Comprehensive
Plan process consideration was given to limiting the commercial
development along major arterials, and the commercial
development would be buffered with multi-family housing and
beyond that single-family housing.
Councilmember Wagner stated his support of the rezone
request for reasons stated by Councilmember Burns.
Councilmember Haugen stated there are quite a few empty
buildings in Auburn, particularly in the downtown core, that
owners cannot sell because they have the wrong zoning.
Councilmember Barber expressed her support of the rezone
request.
Councilmember Borden stated that since the development is
along a major arterial, has other C-3 zones abutting most sides,
and is conditioned that all business activities be conducted
indoors will help buffer the property to the east of the requested
rezone.
MOTION CARRIED. 4-2. Councilmembers Brothers and
Haugen voted no.

Audience Participation
Mayor Booth invited citizen participation.
Semion Pashkovsky, 1630 Knickerbocker Drive, Auburn
Mr. Pashkovsky stated he is a new resident of Auburn and has
resided in Auburn for about one and one-half years. Mr.
Pashkovsky stated the City is charging him $6.50 per month for
solid waste collection service which he does not utilize. Mr.
Pashkovsky stated it is inconvenient for him to haul his garbage
down his long driveway where it can be picked up, and instead
he takes his garbage to his business. Mr. Pashkovsky stated
Page 10
City of Aubum Council Meeting Minutes February 21,199~_
he has asked the City twice to remove the solid waste charge;
and the City's response is that unless he has his water service
discontinued, he will continue to be billed for the minimum solid
waste collection service. Mr. Pashkovsky asked the City
Council what can be done regarding his situation. Mayor Booth
stated solid waste collection service charges are required
inside the city limits.
In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Mr.
Pashkovsky confirmed he owns the business where he takes
his garbage.
Councilmember Wagner asked Public Works Director Currie
whether Mr. Pashkovsky would be eligible for a hardship
exemption. Mr. Currie suggested Mr. Pashkovsky contact
either him or Solid Waste Supervisor Dick Sulser to determine if
he is eligible for an exemption according to City Code.
Tom Antles, 2428 Poplar Street S.E. #B, Auburn
Mr. Antles stated he has lived at his address for approximately
one and one-half years, and owns a duplex there. Mr. Antles
stated Poplar Street S.E. deadends on a cul-de-sac, and the
street has no street lights. Mr. Antles stated there have been
several disorderly persons congregating near his residence.
Mr. Antles stated that this past weekend while he was away, he
sustained damage to three of his vehicles. Mr. Antles stated his
property borders the Muckleshoot Reservation, and the area
near his home has become a natural path to areas on the
reservation. Mr. Antles stated he has tried to get the City to put
street lights on his street, but has been told it is not feasible.
Mr. Antles also suggested putting barriers at the end of the cul-
de-sac to prevent people from holding their parties at the end of
the cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Barber stated she has visited a residence there
and has observed some of the activities Mr. Antles describes.
Mrs. Antles, 2428 Poplar Street S.E. #B, Auburn
Mrs. Antles stated she and her husband have lost neighbors
and renters because they are afraid. Mrs. Antles stated the
kids that frequent the area disrupt the neighborhood by yelling
and throwing things. Mrs. Antles stated once the police show
up the kids disappear, but they come back as soon as the
police leave.
Page11
City of Aubum Council Meetin.q Minutes February 21, 1995
o
Councilmember Burns suggested Mr. and Mrs. Antles look into
forming a Block Watch Program in their neighborhood and
contact the Police Department for further information.
Mr. Antles stated they have been working on forming a Block
Watch Program, but with renters it has been difficult.
Mayor Booth urged Mr. Antles to contact Public Works Director
Currie regarding the street lighting.
Councilmember Haugen asked Police Chief Purdy if there has
been a lot of cells for police assistance in the area. Chief Purdy
stated he did not have the history available.
Mrs. Antles stated there are three vacant lots at the end of the
cul-de-sac where people congregate and leave their garbage.
Mr. Antles said he appreciates the efforts of the Police
Department.
Virginia Moses, 114 "M" Street S.E., Auburn
Mrs. Moses reported there is an alley near the Wayland Arms
Apartments off of 2nd Street S.E. Mrs. Moses stated she has
been told that part of the alley belongs to the railroad. Mrs.
Moses stated there are significant potholes in the alley, and she
requested the alley be graveled and graded. Mrs. Moses stated
she has seen the City gravel other portions of the alley but not
the section at the end. Mrs. Moses suggested that if the City is
not going to maintain that portion of the alley, it should be
blockaded so people will not use it. Mrs. Moses also reported
there is an abandoned vehicle at the end of Division Street
which has been reported to the Police Department. Police
Chief Purdy stated the owner had been contacted to remove the
vehicle. Chief Purdy stated he would followup on the complaint.
Councilmember Haugen stated the alley area near Wayland
Arms as described by Mrs. Moses is in poor condition.
Councilmember Haugen stated it may be difficult for emergency
vehicles to travel the alley because of the potholes.
Wend,/Belcheff, 4040 "1" Street N.E., Auburn, WA
Mrs. Belcheff stated she has visited the library, but has been
unable to obtain a City Code prior to 1987. Mayor Booth
referred Mrs. Belcheff to the City Clerk's Office for the
information.

Larry Hu.qhes, 208 "M" Street N.E., Auburn
Mr. Hughes stated his wife owns the Rose Garden Restaurant
on West Main Street. Mr. Hughes stated neither he or his wife
understand the situation regarding street assessments and
parking as it relates to their restaurant, and he requested more
information.
Mayor Booth suggested Mr. Hughes contact Senior Planner
Lynn Rued for information on the parking requirements for his
business.
Mayor Booth stated the City is working with the Chamber of
Commerce and the Downtown Association to develop an
intermediate process to deal with the downtown parking
problem. Mayor Booth stated Senior Planner Lynn Rued is the
best source of information with regard to parking as it relates to
Mr. Hughes' business.
Correspondence - None.
