II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. Comprehensive Plan Amendments
03.4.3
The request of the City Council to conduct a public hearing
to amend specific sections of the Comprehensive Plan.
These sections include portions of the transportation
element, description of Light Industrial designations, and
Policy CF-62 dealing with essential public facilities.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing, and Senior Planner
Bob Sokol presented the staff recommendation on the
Comprehensive Plan amendments. Amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan are required to comply with the Growth
Management Hearings Board's decision on a petition
brought against the Plan by the Burlington Northern Santa
Fe Railroad. The City is required to comply with the Board's
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7. 1996
Order by October 11, 1996. The Board ruled that the City's
Comprehensive Plan is in overall compliance with the
Growth Management Act, but remanded four parts back to
the City for revision. The Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing on the amendments, and the Commission
recommends the City Council adopt the September 24, 1996
amendments. The Planning and Community Development
Committee also recommends the City Council adopt the
proposed amendments. Senior Planner 8okol presented a
copy of staffs recommended revisions to the amendments.
He explained that staff is recommending two revisions to the
September 24, 1996 proposed amendments. The first
revision relates to the requirement that the proposal be
included in a state or regional plan be part of the City's
process. If the proposal is not part of a state or regional
plan, the City's process requires that it be part of a state or
regional plan. The second change, contained in paragraph
6 of the staff revisions to the amendments, is intended to
more clearly identify an essential public facility which meets
largely local needs; for example, in-patient facilities,
including substance abuse facilities, mental health facilities
and group homes. The changes are in response to a letter
addressed to the City Council from Eric Laschever, attorney
for the Burlington Northern Railroad, and previously
distributed. Senior Planner Sokol presented the Council
with a copy of the Growth Management Hearings Board
Order on Petitions for Reconsideration. The Board issued
the Order in response to the City's appeal of the Board's
original decision. The Order was issued in June 1996.
Senior Planner Sokol recited from page 5 of the Order the
following excerpts:
"The Board points out that neither its determination
that railroad facilities that serve the region or state are
essential public facilities, nor its ruling that the City
failed to adopt a process for siting essential public
facilities, forces Auburn to site BN's proposed
intermodal facility specifically at the existing Yard."
"The specific siting of an essential public facility, such
as a railroad's intermodal facility, the conditions under
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7. 1996
which the development may be undertaken remains
within the sound discretion of the permitting
jurisdiction,"
"The Board has not undertaken and will not take a
position as to where specifically a railroad intermodal
facility may or may not be located within a city or
county."
"Instead, the Board has simply held that as a matter
of law, regional and statewide railroad facilities are
EPFs that Auburn does not have an adopted process
for siting such facilities and is required to have such a
process, and does not and that its comprehensive
plan and local development regulations cannot
preclude that siting of essential public facilities."
Senior Planner Sokol advised that the definition of
"preclude", according to Webster's Seventh Collegiate
Dictionary, is to make impossible. Therefore, the City
cannot have a process which makes it impossible to site an
essential public facility within the city of Auburn. He urged
the City Council to consider the Growth Management
Hearings Board Order and the definition of "preclude" as
they review the proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends the City Council
adopt the September 24, 1996 amendments to the City's
Comprehensive Plan as revised by staff.
Councilmember Brothers questioned Figure 72 included with
the proposed amendments. Senior Planner Sokol explained
that Figure 72, Arterial Link Level of Service, illustrates the
existing levels of service in 1993 and a forecast of the level
of service conditions in 2020 assuming no improvements are
made to the city's streets and roads.
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Senior
Planner Sokol advised that language contained in the
proposed amendment regarding the designation of essential
public facility was taken directly from the Growth
Management Act. The Land Use Study Commission,
appointed by the Governor as a result of regulatory reform,
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7, 1996
is considering methods of better defining an essential public
facility.
Eric Laschever, Preston, Gates & Ellis, 5000 Columbia
Center, 701 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, WA, 98104
Mr. Laschever introduced himself and Ms. Pati Otley,
Governmental Affairs Representative for the Burlington
Northern Railroad Company, who was also in attendance.
Mr. Laschever is an attorney with the firm of Preston, Gates
& Ellis and represents the Burlington Northern Railroad. Mr.
Laschever presented the City Council with copies of a letter
addressed to Mayor Booth from Mr. Laschever dated
October 4, 1996, with attached letter dated September 17,
1996 addressed to the Planning Commission, and copies of
page 39 of the Central Puget Sound Growth Management
Hearings Board Final Decision and Order 95-3-0075c dated
May 10, 1996.
Mr. Laschever questioned whether the City's proposed
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan address the
Growth Management Hearings Board's Order and whether
the amendments will be upheld by the Board. He also
questioned whether the City can look to any other provisions
of the ordinance for the protections the City is seeking rather
than from those provisions the railroad wants revised.
Lastly, he offered additional time to negotiate the requested
revisions.
Mr. Laschever directed the Council's attention to page 39 of
the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings
Board Final Decision and Order 95~3-0075c dated May 10,
1996, and recited an excerpt from the Order as follows:
"The City contends that these facilities are currently
not designated essential public facilities by any state,
local, or city agency."
According to Mr. Laschever, the City contends that rail
facilities are not designated as essential public facilities
because they are not identified as such in any planning
document. He then referenced a provision of the Growth
Management Hearings Board Order in which the Board held
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7, 1996
that any rail facility serving the region or state is an essential
public facility. Mr. Laschever asserted that the City's
proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan require
the railroad to be identified in a state or regional plan prior to
submitting a proposal to the City and does not address the
Growth Management Hearings Board Order.
Mr. Laschever acknowledged the City's proposed siting
criteria with the exception that the rail facility must be
identified in a state or regional plan as an essential public
facility. He expressed concern with the proposed
Comprehensive Plan amendment provision regarding
financial mitigation and whether the intent of the provision is
to require financial mitigation due to the lower tax rates
applied to rail properties. He also expressed concern with
other siting criteria which may require essential public
facilities to develop an incentive package in addition to
mitigating impacts and thereby make the siting of such
essential public facility impracticable.
Mr. Laschever concluded that further negotiations could
resolve the issues without any further controversy before the
Growth Management Hearings Board, and suggested that
the City join the railroad in requesting an extension from the
Hearings Board.
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
cautioned that the railroad's position has been that the
railroad is exempt from any state or local law. Additionally,
staff believe that the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments meet the requirements of the Growth
Management Hearings Board Decision and Order. The Plan
amendments place the burden of defining an essential
public facility and identifying its impacts on the state. Mr.
Krauss cited the reopening of Stampede Pass as an
example of the railroad's lack of addressing impacts of a
public facility.
City Attorney Reynolds recommended that the City join Mr.
Laschever in requesting an extension from the Growth
Management Hearings Board in order to continue
discussions between the City and the railroad.
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7, '1996
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe,
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
explained that staff interpreted the Board's decision to
identity the rail facility as an essential public faci'lity but to
allow the city to subject the essential public facility to the
City's permitting process.
Discussion was held regarding the pending court dates
before the Surface Transportation Board and federal court.
Mr. Laschever indicated the railroad's position regarding the
Surface Transportation Board proceedings and the
proceedings before the federal bench will not change as a
result of an extension of the Growth Management Hearings
Board compliance deadline. City Attorney Reynolds
expressed a willingness to work with Burlington Northern to
continue the Growth Management Hearings Board Order
with the expectation that the railroad will work with the City
to facilitate the continuation of the remaining court dates.
Mr. Laschever requested the City Council adopt an
ordinance which will avoid any further dispute before the
Growth Management Hearings Board. Mr. Laschever's
position was such that he could not give any invitation to
resolve all the issues related to Stampede Pass. His only
focus was to the matter before the Growth Management
Hearings Board.
City Attorney Reynolds requested that Mr. Laschever or
someone else within the Burlington Northern Santa Fe
corporation give Mr. Laschever the authority to negotiate a
comprehensive settlement of all issues.
Councilmember Wagner questioned whether the Growth
Management Hearings Board Order prevents the City from
requiring the recognition of rail facilities in a state or regional
plan. As interpreted by Mr. Laschever, the Board
determined that because the legislature had identified
certain types of facilities as essential public facilities, they
are not required to be identified in any other planning
document before beginning the siting process with the City.
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7, 1996
Mr. Laschever offered to provide additional information with
regard to the Board's definition of "impracticable".
Councilmembers Barber and Borden expressed concern
with the effectiveness of a delay in complying with the
Growth Management Hearing's Board Decision and Order.
City Attorney Reynolds objected to a piece meal negotiation
of the Auburn yard, a possible future intermodal facility, and
the reopening of Stampede Pass. He hoped that a delay
would facilitate negotiations between the City and the
railroad of all the related issues.
Councilmember Poe suggested that the City Council adopt
the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, and allow the
Growth Management Hearings Board to determine whether
the amendments comply with their Decision and Order.
Mr. Laschever noted for the record that, through a combined
effort of the City and the railroad, $100,000 in funding was
provided to study the impact of the reopening of Stampede
Pass. He conceded that the Council should go forth with the
amendments, and the Growth Management Hearings Board
given the opportunity to rule on them.
Councilmember Wagner spoke in favor of proceeding with
the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Sandre Exley, 2708 "T" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Exley expressed concern with the number of trains that
may come through Auburn. She urged Burlington Northern
Railroad to help pay for the construction of overpasses or
other improvements needed to accommodate the trains.
Alan Keimig, 216 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Keimig pointed out that the proposed amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan not only affect rail facilities but
extends to other public facilities which may locate in Auburn.
He spoke in favor of involving the state and the ports in the
planning and mitigation process for a rail facility.
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes October 7, 1996
John Raeder, 4102 "B" Place NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Raeder spoke about the existence of the Coalition for
Responsible Railroads. The Coalition represents many
people who are concerned about the impact of reopening
Stampede Pass and the possibility of an intermodal facility in
Auburn. He urged the City Council to adopt the proposed
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, but to also pursue
further negotiations with the railroad.

Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. Planning and
Community Development Director Krauss presented the

Housing and Urban Development requires the City to
conduct a hearing prior to drafting any revisions to the Plan

Mr. Keimig spoke as the architect on the project to expand

facilities in the city and will remain so even after expansion
of the Food Bank.
Mr. Keimig also spoke in favor of Application No. ZOA0002-
96, the amendment to Chapters 18.28 and 18.50 to Auburn
