Page1 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 b) Mayor Booth introduced King County Councilmember Chris Vance of the 13th County Council District. Councilmember Vance made a brief presentation on the status of various county and regional issues. Councilmember Vance stated since the majority of the 13th Council District is comprised of incorporated areas, he devotes his attention to the regional issues that impact the 13th District. Councilmember Vance updated the City Council on regional issues dealing with governance, land use, and transportation. Councilmember Vance stated one of the basic visions under the Metro merger is the county will provide the regional services while the cities will provide the local services. Councilmember Vance stated regional services are those types of services too big for one city to accomplish and include such services as records and elections, transit, water, public health, courts and jails. Councilmember Vance announced the County Council, at their session today, approved $124 million appropriation for the construction of the regional justice center which will improve law enforcement services in South King County. Councilmember Vance stated he is disappointed there is not a simple written agreement delineating the services provided by the county and those provided by the cities. Councilmember Vance stated Senate Bill 5038 requires a process for regional governance and regional finance. Councilmember Vance stated the City of Seattle, the County, and the cities have basically agreed a separate entity will not be created to address the work, but all regional committees that exist will do their part. He anticipates the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) will be the main venue for the debate on regional governance and finances. Councilmember Vance stated he believes the GMPC is evolving into more than the forum for adopting amendments to the countywide planning policies of the Growth Management Act. Councilmember Vance stated he is disappointed the Auburn City Council does not have a representative on the GMPC. Page 2 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Councilmember Vance reported last year the County Council agreed to a new set of amended countywide planning policies which includes how the urban growth area boundary will be amended in the future. Councilmember Vance stated it is critical to regional planning that surburban cities located in the urban growth area take the densities in the new population, housing, and new growth of construction to accomodate the regional countywide planning policies. He stated he would not argue the Auburn City Council's authority to decide Auburn's fate; however, the county has been told by the leadership of the Suburban Cities Association the cities will take the growth, especially those cities that have applied to be designated as urban centers, and which Auburn is not. Councilmember Vance pointed out that the City of Federal Way has rejected the countywide planning policies and has imposed impact fees on developers. Councilmember Vance stated if cities resist the densities and the growth, the basic assumption already made for growth management in the region will have to be re-examined Councilmember Vance stated regional leaders have assumed the region must have a light rail system to link the urban centers, and this year the leaders will learn whether or not that assumption is in step with the voters. Councilmember Vance stated the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) plan was defeated everywhere in the region with the exception of within the city of Seattle. Councilmember Vance reported the County Council Budget Committee will meet Wednesday night at Federal Way City Hall to hear public testimony on whether King County should fund continuation of the RTA. The RTA has asked for $1.7 million from King County to continue the plan to the next step. Councilmember Vance reported the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) is proposing the 25 Year Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Councilmember Vance stated Mayor Clymer from Renton is the only South County representative on the PSRC Executive Board, and he urged the Mayor and City Council's involvement on the Board. Page 3 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Councilmember Vance stated the transportation plan is for the entire region for the next 25 years, and is a sixty billion dollar ($60 billion) plan which includes transportation improvements for the ferry system, bicycle trails, RTA, and new roads. Councilmember Vance stated the available resources provide only thirty-seven billion dollars ($37 billion) in funding the plan, and the plan as configured by the PSRC calls for twenty,three and one-half billion dollars ($23.5 billion) in additional taxes. The additional taxes will come from increased gas taxes, new taxes on oil refineries imposed by the Legislature, tolls on all major arterials, and one and 70/100ths dollars ($1.70) per employee parking tax. Councilmember Vance stated the PSRC General Assembly will consider the plan in late May. Councilmember Vance stated the City needs to be aware that the countywide planning policies ratified by the City of Auburn require that within the next 6-10 years all of the urban growth area will be annexed by existing cities. Councilmember Vance stated one of the assumptions is that the City of Auburn will aggressivley annex areas such as the Lea Hill/east hill area of Auburn. Councilmember Vance reported he recently signed a letter to the Mayor expressing his opinion as an individual Councilmember urging the City to reconsider a couple decisions made by the City in the past to leave regional systems. Councilmember Vance stated Auburn is one of a few cities which is not part of the King County Library System, and he believes it is a detriment to the citizens of Auburn to not be able to access the King County Library System. Councilmember Vance urged the City Council to join the King County Library System. Councilmember Vance also requested the City Council reconsider its decision to leave the King County District Court System. Councilmember Vance stated it would be beneficial for Auburn, as well as other suburban cities, to rethink its decision and rejoin the King County Court System. Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 c) Proclamations A1.8 (1) Volunteer Week Mayor Booth read a proclamation declaring the week of April 23 through April 29, 1995 as Volunteer Week. Mayor Booth introduced the following volunteers in recognition of Volunteer Week and their dedication and contributions made to the community: Mike Hamilton who is a volunteer for the Auburn School District serving four years as Chair of the Auburn Citizens for Schools Committee, eight years as a member of the District Boundary Review Committee, and serves on the ad hoc Facilities Needs Committee. Dutch and Lucille Hogenson who both earned their five year volunteer pins for the Senior Activity Center volunteering as Center Greeters, Lunch Room Hosts, and home delivery of meals. Lucille Hoganson has recently organized a paperback book exchange. Sue Bryan is a Parks and Recreation Department volunteer working with the Specialized Recreation Programs as a Special Olympics coach and this year coordinated the Special Olympics Cheerleading Program including making all the uniforms for the program. Mayor Booth invited all of those in the audience who volunteer for any organization to stand and be recognized with applause for their service. Mayor Booth noted that a survey last spring indicated that the amount of volunteer hours Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 II. given in the Senior Center last year equalled approximately 8.2 full-time persons. (2) Days of Remembrance Mayor Booth read a proclamation declaring the week of April 23 through 30, 1995 as Days of Remembrance. 2. Appointments - None. Agenda Modifications Agenda modifications consist of correspondence transmitted and announced by Mayor Booth and are included under Items II.C.2, II.C.3 and II.C.4 of these minutes. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE A. Public Hearings Application No. PLT0005-90 03.5 PLT0005-90 The request of Henderson Development, Inc., to amend the Preliminary Plat Application to allow for changes in the street and lot layout of Division No. 14 of Lakeland Hills. Division No. 14 is located west of Division No. 1 and east of Lakeland Hills Way. Application No. MIN0001-90 O3.10.3 MIN0001-90 The request of Henderson Development, Inc., to amend the mining permit to allow additional material to be excavated in order to accommodate the construction of Division No. 14 of Lakeland Hills. Division No. 14 is located west of Division No 1 and east of Lakeland Hills Way. Mayor Booth opened the hearing on Application Numbers PLT0005-90 and MIN0001-90, and requested Assistant Planning Director Lynn Rued make a presentation on the applications. Assistant Planning Director Rued explained the applications were sent back to the applicant and staff for response to concerns raised by the neighbors at previous hearings. Assistant Planning Director Rued stated the applicant had to deal with a number of constraints Page 6 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 as the project is limited geographically. The project is bordered on the east by Division No. 1, bordered on the west by Lakeland Hills Way, consists of a slope, and requires each lot have access to a public street other than Lakeland Hills Way. Assistant Planning Director Rued stated the result of the revision includes a reduction of the number of lots from 39 to 36, reduces the amount of excavation, and creates two open space tracts which will preserve some of the trees. Assistant Planning Director Rued stated in order to accomplish the goals of the project, it requires narrowing the cul- de-sac 10 feet less than the City normally requires. Mr. Rued stated the cul-de-sac abuts the open space tract, and staff feels it is adequate as it enables emergency access and sidewalk access to all lots that abut the cul-de-sac. Assistant Planning Director Rued stated the revised project addresses the neighbors concerns and leaves as much open space as is possible without reducing the number of lots beyond three lots already eliminated. Ken Kinared, Henderson Development Inc., PO Box 3866, Bellevue, WA, 98009 Mr. Kinared stated he supports the applications as amended, and requested the City Council support the request. Mr. Kinared offered to answer any questions of the City Council. Councilmember Haugen asked for clarification of the location of the trees that will be saved. Mr. Kinared used a map of Division 14 to show the location of the trees. Councilmember Brothers thanked Mrs. Ryan for her diligence and perseverence in coming to the City Council regarding the project. Councilmember Brothers complimented Mr. Kinared and Henderson Homes. Councilmember Brothers quoted from the staff recommendation as follows: "Staff believes that the applicant has made significant strides in improving the plat while responding to the concerns of the Council and the neighbors." Councilmember Brothers stated he believes the neighborhoold will be better because of the input received from both sources. Susan Ryan, 5101 Mill Pond Loop, Auburn, WA, 98002 Susan Ryan thanked the City Council and Planning Department for their time and consideration. Motion by Councilmember Wagner, second by Councilmember Borden to close the public hearing. Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.

Motion by Councilmember Wagner, second by Councilmember Borden to approve Application Number MIN0001-90 and instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary Resolution and Ordinance. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. Comprehensive Plan Amendments 03.4.3 Amendments are proposed to the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan to comply with the Washington State Growth Management Act and to ensure consistency with the King County Countywide Planning Policies. The Comprehensive Plan serves as a policy framework which guides future City decisions and actions. The Comprehensive Plan amendments include the City's Capital Facilities Plan. The Plan amendments have been recommended for adoption by the City of Auburn Planning Commission. Mayor Booth opened the public hearing and requested Senior Planner Bob Sokol make a presentation on the Comprehensive Plan amendments. Senior Planner Sokol explained the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and the Capital Facilities Plan are the final products of a planning process which began with the Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 passage of the Washington State Growth Management Act in 1990. The process has resulted in previous amendments to the Comprehensive Plan which included the City's urban growth and expansion policies in 1991 and critical land designation and protection in 1992. Mr. Sokol explained the draft amended Comprehensive Plan and Capital Facilities Plan were released for public comment in September 1994; but prior to the release of the draft documents, the Planning Commission held several public workshops from April through July 1994 on the Comprehensive Plan amendments. After release of the draft amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, three open houses were held attended by approximately 100 people, over 30 written comments were received, and three public hearings were held before the Planning Commission. Senior Planner Sokol reported the Planning Commission voted unanimously on December 6, 1994, to recommend to the City Council adoption of the draft amended Comprehensive Plan and Capital Facilities Plan as amended by the Planning Commission recommended addendum. Senior Planner Sokol stated the Planning Commission addendum consists of maps and text based upon the public comments received on the draft plans to that date. Senior Planner Sokol stated after the Planning Commission vote, the Plan was forwarded to the Planning and Community Development Committee for their review. The issue of level of service for transportation was addressed by the Public Works Committee. The issue of annexation and service provision in unincorporated areas surrounding the city was discussed in a special workshop by the City Council. Senior Planner Sokol also reported the Plan has been reviewed by several state agencies, and further public comments have been received. Senior Planner Sokol explained that amendments to the draft based upon the comments by the Public Works Committee, the Planning and Community Development Committee, the City Council, and state agencies are included in the Planning and Community Development Committee's recommended amendments contained in this Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 evening's agenda. Mr. Sokol stated the Planning and Community Development Committee recommendations include most of the amendments recommended by the Planning Commission in their addendum. Senior Planner Sokol presented a brief summary of the draft Comprehensive Plan, Capital Facilities Plan, and the Planning and Community Development Committee amendments. Mr. Sokol explained the City Council is not considering an entirely new Comprehensive Plan, but only amendments to the existing Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1986. Mr. Sokol explained the changes that are proposed are necessary to bring the plan in compliance with the Washington State Growth Management Act and the King County Countywide Planning Policies, and refinements of existing city policies for clarity and improvements based upon past experience with the Plan. Mr. Sokol stated there is significant change in the Plan format also. Senior Planner Sokol stated some of the amendments concerning land use will place an increased emphasis on downtown. The Plan also places an increased emphasis on single family housing, to generally reduce the overall percentage of multi-family housing throughout the city, while encouraging multi-family housing in appropriate areas. Mr. Sokol stated the Plan also recommends the establishment of a design review process. Senior Planner Sokol stated the Plan recognizes Auburn's commitment and responsibility for providing its fair share of affordable housing while expecting other jurisdictions in the region to do the same. Senior Planner Sokol stated the Plan emphasizes the important linkage between new development and the provision of capital facilities to serve the new development. The Plan also refines setting the level of service standards and their measurement, and stresses the City's commitment to encourage non-motorized modes of transportation, transportation demand management, and transportation system management. Senior Planner Sokol said the Plan strengthens City policies on water quality and storm drainage and the need for enhanced landscaping requirements. Page 10 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Senior Planner Sokol stated the Plan identifies the City's potential annexation areas and revises existing City policies contained in Resolution 2232 to require immediate annexation for property adjacent to the city limits who request city utilities. He stated the Plan requires the City to consider the existing King County and Pierce County zoning and comprehensive plan designations in designating those areas upon annexation. Senior Planner Sokol displayed the Comprehensive Plan Map and explained that the City Council is considering amendments to the existing Comprehensive Plan Map which is based on the 1986 Comprehensive Plan. Some of the key changes include a new "Downtown" Comprehensive Plan designation. The Plan designates a larger area near downtown as residential. The Plan redesignates a portion of Auburn Way North as multi-family residential to break up the strip commercial corridor, and there are several additional amendments based upon property owner requests. Senior Planner Sokol reported the Planning Commission and the Planning and Community Development Committee both recommend adoption of the amendments. Councilmember Brothers noted the minutes of the April 10, 1995 Planning and Community Development Committee contain discussion about inclusion of multi-family housing in areas zoned for single family homes. Councilmember Brothers questioned why there cannot be an exclusion, and why the issue is handled by an action of the City Council. Senior Planner Sokol explained it is a reflection of the existing Comprehensive Plan and existing Zoning Ordinance. He stated the R-2 zone, which is basically a single family designation, allows duplexes and some multi- family housing as a conditional use. Councilmember Brothers asked if it would be beneficial to incorporate as many protections as possible in single family neighborhoods and not allow multi-family in single family neighborhoods. Senior Planner Sokol stated the R-2 designation is typically placed on some of the older single Page 11 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 family residential neighborhoods which typically already have mufti-family residences. Assistant Planning Director Lynn Rued added the R-2 zone may allow multi-family residences, and provides a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. Mr. Rued stated the intent is to provide for another form of housing in R-2 zones, and multi-family is limited in R-2 zones by no more than four units per structure and no more than 40 percent of a development can be dedicated to multi-family. Councilmember Wagner asked for clarification on the depth of the General Commercial designation along West Main Street from downtown to the railroad tracks. Senior Planner Sokol stated it is one block back from West Main Street. Laurie Pinard, PO Box 88050, Tukwila, WA, 98138 Ms. Pinard stated she is speaking on behalf of M. A. Segale, Inc., related companies, and the Segale family. Ms. Pinard distributed an outline sheet of the five areas she will speak to and a more detailed discussion sheet. Ms. Pinard stated her discussion will center around the subject of Mineral Resource Areas. She stated the Growth Management Act in 1992 designated various critical areas and natural resource areas such as forest resources, agricultural resources, and mineral resources. Ms. Pinard stated the City designated a Mineral Resource Area in the city of Auburn which she illustrated on a map and is located south of Stuck River Road, east of Kersey Way, and west of the Covington- Chehalis power lines. Ms. Pinard stated that substantially all of the area is owned by M. A. Segale Inc. and related corporations and interests. Ms. Pinard stated that by state law, the area must be designated and protected including discouraging development adjacent to the area. Ms. Pinard stated that as development occurs in the vicinity of the Mineral Resource Area, people should be made aware that it is a designated area. Ms. Pinard requested the Comprehensive Plan be revised to include policies related to the Mineral Resource Area including the City's plan to adopt the state required Resource Use Notice. Ms. Pinard stated the 1986 Comprehensive Plan does not have a Mineral Resource Area and lacks related policies. Ms. Pinard stated the Comprehensive Plan includes references to natural resources, but it neglects to mention mineral Page 12 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 resource areas. Ms. Pinard stated that many of the changes she is suggesting is to include reference to mineral resource areas. She also requested the Plan be revised to include a provision that as new development occurs, the impacts of the development on the Mineral Resource Area should be considered. Ms. Pinard stated a policy similar to the one she has suggested was recommended by the City on March 2, 1992 when the Mineral Resource Area was adopted, but the policy has not been carried through to the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Pinard stated the Comprehensive Plan does not adequately or accurately address the Stuck River Road Special Planning Area. Ms. Pinard stated the Plan fails to acknowledge a permit process which has been ongoing with the City of Auburn since 1990. Ms. Pinard stated Segale Inc. applied for a permit for 285 acres located in the Special Planning Area, and the permit has not been finalized to date. She stated the language in the Comprehensive Plan states that no future permits should be granted until the planning process is finished, and this is a concern. Ms. Pinard requested the information be brought up to date and include a reference to the acreage of the Mineral Resource Area in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Pinard stated property owned by the City appears on the Park and Open Space Map, but it is also in the Mineral Resource Area. Ms. Pinard stated if this is not the City's intent, it needs to be corrected. Ms. Pinard requested the Special Planning Area section acknowledge the permit process that is ongoing, and suggested that any permits issued in this area be issued for the life of the resource. Ms. Pinard stated the Lakeview Special Planning Area was the subject of an environmental impact statement and a special use permit through the City of Auburn in the early 1980's. Ms. Pinard stated the easterly portion is operated by M. A. Segale and the westerly portion operated by somone else. Ms. Pinard pointed out the Comprehensive Plan identifies only one large gravel mine in the Lakeview Special Planning Area when in fact there are two. Ms. Pinard reported M. A. Segale applied for a permit in 1991 which is in process, and the language for the special planning area contains language which states no new Page 13 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 permits until planning is finished. Ms. Pinard stated M.A. Segale does not want their permit delayed until the Plan is finished. Ms. Pinard spoke regarding Map 11.1 which is the Parks and Open Space Map. She said the shaded area near White Lake in the Lakeview area is represented as Park and Open Space. Ms. Pinard stated the shaded area is a steep slope area and part of the Segale mining operation. Ms. Pinard requested the area not be designated Park and Open Space because the City's environmental policies state mines are not to go in Park and Open Space areas. Ms. Pinard stated Segale has also applied for a permit for the area. Ms. Pinard stated the City's property which is shown as Park and Open Space and the Mineral Resource Area should be corrected. Ms. Pinard stated the information she submitted this evening contains detailed language as sample provisions for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Pinard referred to a City policy pertaining to the Supermall included in the Comprehensive Plan amendments on page 3-32 which limits the property uses near the Supermall. Ms. Pinard pointed out one of the conditions of the policy which states "any adverse impact or conflict would result in denial of the development." Ms. Pinard expressed concern with the language that any conflict or impact would result in denial. Mr. Pinard stated M. A. Segale owns a 9-10 acre piece of property in the M-2 zone in the area of the Supermall. Ms. Pinard questioned the intent of the language and the definition of "conflict". Ms. Pinard stated she believes the concerns and recommendations of M. A. Segale Inc. have merit, and she requested the City Council delay adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments until after the City Council and staff have an opportunity to review the information she submitted this evening. Councilmember Brothers asked whether staff is prepared to respond to Ms. Pinard's comments. Senior Planner Sokol stated the comments made and submitted by Ms. Pinard are Page 14 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 comprehensive, and staff cannot fully address them at this time. Councilmember Wagner questioned the statement in the Plan regarding the language that states "the plan element must be in place before a permit may be issued." Councilmember Wagner asked the effect on M. A Segale Inc.'s permit process if the "plan element" is not adopted. Senior Planner Rued stated M. A. Segale Inc. has applied for permits for the Lakeview area and the area south of the Stuck River. With regard to the area south of the Stuck River, Mr. Rued stated there is language in the Comprehensive Plan now under the Special Planning Area that states mines north of Stuck River should strictly adhere to the provisions while more flexibility be granted to larger mines south of the Stuck River. Mr. Rued stated the Lakeview site permit has an ElS and the policy language is general enough for staff to proceed with processing the permit under the existing Comprehensive Plan and the existing Zoning Code. Ms. Pinard stated the permit that is in process which pertains to the Mineral Resource Area is for 285 acres of the area. Other areas are the subject of special use permits which will expire in approximately March 1996. Ms. Pinard agreed there is language which allows for flexibility for the area south of Stuck River. She recommended the language state "flexibility is appropriate in a Mineral Resource Area". Ms. Pinard pointed out the Plan does state no new permits until the Plan is done. Sharon Mattioli, 11510 S.E. 320th Place, Auburn, WA, 98002 Ms. Mattioli stated she does not live in the city limits of Auburn, but lives in an area that is a potential annexation area of the city of Auburn. Ms. Mattioli stated she is addressing policy CE-10, and she read the policy for the benefit of the audience. Ms. Mattioli suggested changing the language to read "At annexation the City shall apply the existing county comprehensive plan and zoning designations as determined by the Soos Creek Community Plan, King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordiannce, Pierce County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Page 15 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Ordinance, or other adopted plans to those lands newly annexed to the city. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining designations which protect sensitive lands and other natural resources." Ms. Mattioli said she speaks specifically to the Soos Creek Community Plan which she has a great deal of confidence in as she was a member of the citizens advisory committee that developed the plan. Ms. Mattioli stated she worked on developing the plan from 1988-1991, and took public input over the three years. Ms. Mattioli stated the plan was developed in accordance with the Growth Management Act. Ms. Mattioli stated the plan protects sensitive areas, acknowledges infrastructure problems of the Soos Creek Plateau, especially the Lea Hill and North Lea Hill areas. Ms. Mattioli stated if the City Council changes the policy to read "shall apply", she believes many of the residents in the area would feel more confident about being annexed to the city. Ms. Mattioli suggested a second change to the policy with regard to citizens advisory committees. Ms. Mattioli requested the City Council include in the policy, provided the Soos Creek Community Plan has been adopted as a starting point, that when an area is annexed, the City will convene a citizen advisory committee to start with these policies and zoning designations as a base and review the changes that have occurred over the years and develop a new sub-area plan for the Lea Hill-North Lea Hill area subject to full SEPA review. Ms. rvlattioli urged the City Council to reword the policy to say "the City shall adopt existing plans and upon annexation shall evaluate changes through a citizens advisory committee which shall formulate recommendations to be subject to full SEPA review prior to adoption." Hans Torklep, 11440 S.E. 290th Place, Auburn, WA Mr. Torktep urged the City Council's support of Ms. Mattioli's comments. Mr. Torklep stated he has lived in and around Auburn for several years, and believes every neighborhood has its own unique features. Mr. Torklep stated the water in Olson Canyon supports wild fish and serves as a spawning area. Mr. Torklep requested the area be retained as much as possible. Page 16 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Bob Keever, 10812 S.E. 290th, Auburn, WA Mr. Keever stated he is a neighbor of Mr. Torklep in the North Lea Hill area above the Auburn Golf Course. Mr. Keever stated he has previously sent the City Council correspondence and a video. Mr. Keever spoke on behalf of the Olson Creek Stewardship Committee, a North Lea Hill community organization dedicated to the preservation of Olson Creek and Canyon. Mr. Keever stated the Olson Creek basin covers 1,000 acres in the North Lea Hill area and includes over three miles of stream channel and over 70 acres of wetlands. Mr. Keever passed around photographs of the area, and Mr. Keever advised the same scenery was depicted in the video already given to the City. Mr. Keever stated he sent a letter to the City Council which was incorrectly dated March 7, 1995 and should have been dated April 7, 1995. Mr. Keever submitted a corrected copy to the City Clerk for inclusion in the record. Mr. Keever submitted a memorandum dated April 17, 1995 with an attached petition signed by residents of the North Lea Hill area. Mr. Keever referenced the Enhanced Reconasance Stream Report recently released by King County Public Works which he said is the foundation document for the scientific information on the Olson Creek watershed. Mr. Keever stated it is in this document where the evidence is presented on the significance of the resource area utilized by fish, birds, and other animals. Mr. Keever stated the destruction of the Olson Creek resource is a serious price to pay for growth and development in the watershed. Mr. Keever stated the Soos Creek Community Plan provides for a greenbelt along the Olson Creek corridor and covers several hundred acres. Mr. Keever stated the Soos Creek Community Plan applies for as long as the area remains in unincorporated King County. Mr. Keever stated he is very interested in the preservation of the greenbelt and the adoption of the Soos Creek Community Plan should the area become annexed to the city of Auburn. In response to a question from Councilmember Borden, Senior Planner Sokol recommended retaining the existing language of Policy CE-10 as staff is not familiar enough with the Soos Creek Plan and the zoning designations at this time to commit the City. Page 17 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Councilmember Brothers stated the City Council serves as the citizens advisory committee for the citizens of the city, but it does not preclude the City Council from seeking the input and advice from the citizens of the area. Councilmember Brothers stated be believes it is not appropriate to mandate a citizens advisory committee in the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Borden stated when an annexation occurs, zoning and a comprehensive plan designation is established. Senior Planner Sokol added the City may consider the Soos Creek Plan or determine at the time of annexation the Soos Creek Plan is not appropriate. Councilmember Haugen asked if the City would be required to protect waterways in any event. Senior Planner Sokol stated any development along the waterway would require SEPA review. Councilmember Kurle requested staff provide written comments to each of the points raised during the hearing this evening. Councilmember Kurle added staff can provide written comments on the Olson Canyon issues, but a written response to the M. A. Segale Inc. presentation may take some time. Councilmember Brothers requested staff also respond to the M. A. Segale suggestions. Bill Joy, 28183 109th Avenue S.E., Kent, WA Mr. Joy stated he lives within the City of Auburn's future annexation area. Mr. Joy stated he agrees that the Olson Canyon should be protected and agrees with the idea of a citizens advisory committee. Mr. Joy stated the Olson Canyon is a very sensitive area, and the slopes need to be protected. Mr. Joy added he hoped the City Council's first allegiance is to the citizens of Auburn and not to others. Paula Thrush, 10872 S. E. 318th Place, Auburn, WA Ms. Thrush stated she submitted a letter to the City Council earlier today and would like to reiterate some of her comments. Ms. Thrush stated she has lived in the Auburn Page 18 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 area for 40 years and has been a homeowner on Lea Hill for the past 25 years. Ms. Thrush stated she has been involved with land use issues on Lea Hill and began her testimony by reading the the first eight paragraphs of her April 17, 1995 letter transmitted under Item II.C.3 of these minutes. Mayor Booth requested Ms. Thrush make her comments specific to the issue of the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Thrush asked if the City has a time frame for annexation. Mayor Booth stated there is no time frame for annexation, but explained the Comprehensive Plan identifies the Lea Hill area within the Growth Management Area. Ms. Thrush stated Sharon Mattioli's recommendation and the Soos Creek Community Plan should be in effect at the time of annexation. Randy Hamblin, Quadrant Corporation, 1100 N. E. 8th, Bellevue, WA Mr. Hamblin suggested a revision to the statement found on page 12 of the Planning and Community Development Committee's recommendations which states "any adverse impact or conflict would result in denial of the development." Mr. Hamblin agreed with Ms. Pinard's statement regarding the language, and that a project with an adverse impact should not be denied if the project can be reasonably mitigated.

Councilmember Borden seconded the motion. In response to a question from Councilmember Borden, Councilmember Wagner stated there is a large amount of mitigation referenced under the LOS standards and can easily cover any traffic situations that may occur around commercial development or any other development. Councilmember Brothers stated that since he and Councilmember Kurle have both requested comments from staff, it may be more appropriate for the Council to consider adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments after receiving staff comments. Councilmember Brothers also suggested that action on the Comprehensive Plan amendments be delayed until Councilmember Burns is in attendance. Councilmember Haugen stated she concurs with Councilmembr Brothers comments. Councilmember Haugen stated she would like to receive comments from staff and will vote against adoption of the amendments unless the information presented at this evening's hearing is given consideration. Councilmember Kurle asked what the deadline is for adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments. Senior Planner Sokol explained if the Comprehensive Plan is not adopted by this Friday, the City would be ineligible for grants from the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development. Public Works Director Currie Page 20 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 stated the City would also be ineligible for funding from the Public Works Trust Fund. In response to a question from Councilmember Kurle, Senior Planner Sokol stated the City of Auburn is allowed to make one amendment to the Comprehensive Plan each calendar year, therefore sometime within the next eight months the City Council would have the ability to make any additional changes. Councilmember Brothers questioned the amount of the funding the City is applying for through the Public Works Trust Fund. Public Works Director Currie stated the funding is for the "C" Street off-ramp project and is a just under $2 million. Councilmember Kurle stated he wanted ample opportunity to consider the testimony given this evening and staff's comments. Councilmember Kurle stated if the City Council can amend the Plan later this year, he is in favor of adopting the Plan provided a specific date is given for consideration of the testimony.

In response to a question from Councilmember Wagner, Senior Planner Rued stated the application process may proceed, and if the Mineral Resource Polices are completed by September 1, 1995, the existing permitted site south of Stuck River should not be affected. Page 21 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 Councilmember Brothers suggested delaying adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments until input is received from staff on the public hearing testimony. Councilmember Kurle stated he believes the Council should adopt the Comprehensive Plan this evening with a date certain of September 1, 1995 to amend the Plan to consider the testimony given this evening. Councilmember Haugen referred to a letter from Paula Thrush in which Ms. Thrush proposes adding school impact fee mitigation to the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Haugen stated no one has addressed this issue. City Attorney Reynolds suggested recessing the City Council meeting until Thursday evening in order to allow the City Council and staff to review the testimony and information presented this evening. Councilmember Borden stated she agrees with Councilmember Kurle. Councilmember Borden stated the changes proposed should be considered, but it will take more time. Councitmember Borden stated the Plan should be adopted this evening, and more time spent considering some of the comments made this evening. Mayor Booth asked City Attorney Reynolds if it is the responsibility of the City or the school district to deal with school mitigation. City Attorney Reynolds stated the school district develops its capital facilities plan and methodology for calculation of impacts, and then City the adopts the school district's plan. Councilmember Wagner amended his motion to adopt Resolution 2635 with four additional amendments as follows: 1) The City Council will make a revision to the Comprehensive Plan by September 1, 1995 covering the areas of testimony tonight especially the mineral resource area. Page 22 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 2) On page 14-23 of the Comprehensive Plan, Stuck River Special Planning Area, after the words, "any new permit" add the words "except as existing permits and agreements may be in place allowing flexibility of development." 3) On page 41 of the Planning & Community Development Committee recommended amendment to the plan, add to CE-10, Objective 5.4, "Citizen involvement will be solicited to a substantial degree." 4) On page 12 of the Planning & Community Development Committee recommended amendments to the Plan, referring to page 3-32 of the plan, item C, remove the words, "Any adverse impact or conflict would result in denial of the development" and add the words, "and will be mitigated as referred in the Plan."

Mr. Kurtz spoke with regard to the Page 23 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes April 17, 1995 current City and County commercial utility rates for water, sewer, and Metro services to Iow-income housing and distributed a handout of the information he presented. Mr. Kurtz stated the City and County costs of operating Iow-income housing are too high. Mr. Kurtz stated operators of Iow-income housing need relief on the charges for utilities in order to offer a rental rate affordable for Iow- income persons. Mr. Kurtz stated in 1990 approximately one tenth of the income from three of the units was spent on utilities, and in 1994 one third of the income from the units is spent on utilities. Mr, Kurtz asked that the utility rate for his apartment complex be the same as other residential accounts. Mayor Booth questioned whether water leaks were reimbursable through Metro. Public Works Director Currie stated water leaks are reimbursable through Metro if it is determined the water did not enter the sewer system. Mr. Kurtz objected to the recent rate increases. He also objected to the storm sewer charges, and stated there are no storm sewer in the vicinity of his apartment complex. Mr. Kurtz requested the City Council publish the percentage increase and the calculation methods, relief for water leaks no matter where the leak exists, jusity the rate increases, and commission a review committee consisting of Councilmembers business people to review water, sewer, and Metro rate structures for fairness between businesses and individuals, work with Auburn and King County to make recommendations for changes. Mr. Kurtz requested Council take his recommendations under advisement. Mr. Kurtz explained the property he speaks of is located at 207 "E" Street S.W. consists of a house converted to five-plex, a three-plex he is not renting, and a house which is separately rented. Councilmember Borden asked if Mr. Kurtz has worked with his tenants to conserve water. Mr. Kurtz stated he has encouraged his tenants to report water leaks. Councilmember Wagner asked Public Works Director Currie if a report will be given at the next Public Works Committee meeting on the cost of service study for water. Councilmember Wagner invited Mr. Kurtz to attend the next Public Works Committee meeting to hear the consultant's report on a cost of service study.
