II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. Application No. ANX0001-96
O3.1
This public hearing is with regard to an annexation petition
submitted by property owners to annex a 12 acre parcel of
land located north of the existing city limits and south of
South 285th Street, and east of West Valley Highway.
Mayor Booth declared the public hearing open. No staff
report was presented.
Dr. Arthur Stewart, 6927 South 285th, Kent, WA, 98032
Dr. Stewart spoke in favor of his application to annex his
property to the city of Auburn. He described his property as
12.13 acres extending from the West Valley Highway on the
west and the Valley Highway on the east. The acreage
includes Dr. Stewart's residence which was constructed in
1954. Dr. Stewart noted that he is a lifelong (78-year)
resident of the area, and a career educator in the Kent and
Auburn areas. He explained his reason for his request to
annex to the city of Auburn. His property is for sale, and the
potential buyers desire to be within the city limits in order to
obtain the necessary utilities. Dr. Stewart also pointed out
that the cities of Auburn and Kent have agreed that 277th
Street will be the mutual boundary, and the city of Auburn
has already annexed properties to 277th Street north and
east of his property.
Mike Bocatch, 111 "H" Street SE, Auburn, WA, 98002
Mr. Bocatch expressed concern with the annexation of the
Stewart property and the potential use of the property as an
illegal immigrant detention center. He quoted from a
November 1995 Seattle Times article regarding the 1994
Federal Crime Bill and the cost to the state for the
incarceration of criminal immigrants. He also quoted from a
January 3, 1997 Tacoma News Tdbune article regarding the
Commission on Immigration Reform's failed attempt to
reduce the number of illegal immigrants. Mr. Bocatch
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21. 1997
expressed concern that if the immigrant detention center is
allowed to locate in the city of Auburn, the City will be unable
to regulate the federal facility. He quoted from a December
3, 1996 South County Journal article containing Mayor
Booth's comments regarding the location of a potential
immigrant detention facility on the Stewart property. Mr.
Bocatch also quoted from an Associated Press article dated
December 26, 1996 regarding the Miami District immigrant
detention center. He expressed concern with the type of
criminal immigrants which may be incarcerated at the
proposed detention facility. Mr. Bocatch quoted from a
December 3, 1996 South County Journal article which
quoted Councilmember Singer regarding her position on the
annexation petition. Mr. Bocatch questioned the benefit of
the proposed annexation of the Stewart property.
Michael Hart, 11716 SE 322nd Street, Auburn, WA
Mr. Hart commented on behalf of the Auburn Area Chamber
of Commerce. He spoke in favor of the petition for
annexation, and urged the City Council to act favorably on
the request for annexation. He indicated the proposed
annexation is consistent with the growth plans for Auburn,
and the proposed annexation is consistent with the City's
previous annexation decisions on unsolicited annexation
requests. He further suggested that the decision on the
petition for annexation should not be tied to a potential use
of the property. Future zoning and use of the land should be
considered separately.
Bob West, 332 - 1st Street NE, Auburn, WA, 98002
Mr. West spoke on behalf of Correctional Services
Corporation and Dr. and Mrs. Stewart. Mr. West stressed
that the issue before the Council this evening is
consideration of a petition to annex to the city, and not the
zoning or future use of the property. Any development
proposal should be considered separately. Mr. West urged
the Council to act favorably on the petition to annex since
the proposed annexation is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and the City's annexation policies. He
advised that the next step in the annexation process will be
a hearing before the King County Boundary Review Board.
He anticipates that his client, Correctional Services
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21, 1997
Corporation, will submit a development proposal in the
future.
Paula Thrush, 10872 SE 318th Place, Auburn, WA
Ms. Thrush commented on the staff report which indicates
the current zoning for the subject property is either urban
separator or agricultural preservation district. She also
noted the Auburn Comprehensive Plan identifies the
property as rural residential with one unit per four acres.
She expressed concern with the possibility of rezoning the
property from rural to light industrial. As a member of the
Lea Hill Annexation Task Force, she expressed the same
concern for the Lea Hill area should it be annexed to the
city. She questioned a statement in the staff report
concerning major pollution to Mill Creek and the Green
River. She advised that according to the State Fish and
Wildlife Service urban biologist, dairy operations are
considered non-point pollutants. However, the staff report
refers to the Smith Brothers Dairy as a major pollutant to Mill
Creek and Green River. She questioned the reference
source for the statement. She also noted that the staff
report does not refer to the possible existence of wetlands
on the property. She urged the Council to not annex the
property and to preserve the property as agricultural.
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
responded to the Ms. Thrush's questions. He advised that
the Smith Brothers Dairy pollution information was
developed by the Special Area Management Plan (SAMP)
which is seeking to preserve Mill Creek. The SAMP process
has been frustrated with efforts to clean up the Mill Creek
corridor because some of the major pollutants along the
corridor are exempt as an agricultural use from clean up
projects. Mr. Krauss acknowledged there may be wetlands
on the Stewart property, but the wetlands issue will be
addressed when a development proposal is submitted. Mr.
Krauss responded to Ms. Thrush's concern with the potential
annexation of Lea Hill and the possibility of industrial uses
being developed within the Lea Hill area. The City of
Auburn adopted the King County Plan for the Lea Hill area,
and the City's Comprehensive Plan reflects the Lea Hill as
generally residential uses with small commercial pockets
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21, 1997
and several areas set aside for environmental protection.
He noted the City's Comprehensive Plan does not address
the Stewart property. Therefore, in the future the City
Council must determine what type of use will be consistent
with the area. He stressed that the issue before the City
Council this evening is only whether the property should be
annexed to the city.
Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA, 98002
Ms. Haugen expressed concern that the staff report on the
petition for annexation does not disclose that Correctional
Services Corporation plans to construct a 300-bed detention
facility on the Stewart property. She suggested the City
spend more time on protection of the City's water supply,
and less time on annexing a portion of rural Auburn.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by
Councilmember Wagner to close the public hearing.
Councilmember Poe questioned the type of land use permit
required for an immigrant detention facility in an M-1 zone.
Planning and Community Director Krauss advised a rezone
to M-1 would be required and a conditional use permit would
be required for the detention facility. In response to a
question from Councilmember Brothers, Mr. Krauss
reiterated that a conditional use permit would be required for
a detention facility in a M-1 zone.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.
Motion by Councilmember Wagner, second by
Councilmember Singer to approve the request for
annexation and instruct the Planning Department to prepare
the notice of intention to be forwarded to the King County
Boundary Review Board.
Councilmember Wagner spoke in favor of annexing the
Stewart property as it is important for the City to gain control
of those areas adjacent to the city limits to avoid other
jurisdictions making decisions on land use for the area. He
stressed that his motion in no way endorses any proposed
use of the land.
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21. 1997
Councilmember Brothers urged the City Council to take a
go-slow policy and to determine whether the City should be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan before annexation
OCCURS.
Councilmember Barber spoke in favor of annexation. She
indicated the annexation is consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
MOTION CARRIED. 4-2. Councilmembers Borden and
Brothers voted no.
B. Audience Participation
1. J.P. Rupert, 18014 SE 372nd, Auburn, WA
Mr. Rupert spoke with regard to Resolution No. 2800 related
to the Sanitary Sewage Connection Agreement between the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the City which appears as
Item VII.B.4 on this evening's agenda. Mr. Rupert advised
he is a consulting engineer who has been retained by the
Auburn Adventist Academy to study the possible use and
development of 270 acres of their property within the city
limits. A 350-unit retirement center is in preliminary design
and there are potential developers with plans to develop
single family plats. He expressed concern that the Sanitary
Sewage Connection Agreement will impact the sewage
system for the area, and the sewer system will not be able to
accommodate the future development needs of property
within the city. Mr. Rupert advised that the Seventh Day
Adventist Academy representatives are considering plans to
relocate its Western Washington Conference Regional
Office to the academy property. The regional office would
consist of a 40,000 square foot office building. Additionally,
there are potential plans to rebuild the school campus. Mr.
Rupert cited page 2 of the Agreement, which refers to the
number of sanitary sewer connections allowed under the
Agreement, and expressed concern with paragraphs 10.3
and 10.4 of the Agreement related to maximum sewage flow
and funding of future improvements for increased capacity.
He questioned whether the developers of the Seventh Day
Adventist property will be required to pay increased system
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21. 1997
development charges for their sewer connections because
the capacity has already been consumed by the
Muckleshoot Tribe connections. Mr. Rupert described a
meeting he attended at the Tribal Center where the plans for
the Tribe's amphitheater project was discussed. He
described comments made at the meeting which indicated
that the key hurdle in accomplishing the amphitheater
project was the Sanitary Sewage Connection Agreement.
However, he noted that the Agreement does not provide for
a sewer connection for the amphitheater. Mr. Rupert asked
the Council to consider the future needs of property within
the city limits when they deliberate the adoption of
Resolution No. 2800.
City Attorney Reynolds responded that the Sanitary Sewage
Connection Agreement is a result of discussions with Tribal
representatives, Indian Health Services representatives, and
Environmental Protection Agency representatives. He
identified Tribal Chairperson Virginia Cross and Tribal
General Counsel Rob Otsea in attendance this evening who
were actively involved in developing the Agreement. The
purpose of the Agreement is to address health problems
with regard to the septic systems that are not serviced by
sanitary sewer. Through the Indian Health Services, the
Tribe elicited the aid of the City of Auburn in resolving the
health problems. The City drafted an agreement which
would resolve the current health problems of the Tribe, and
would also prevent the capacity issues identified by Mr.
Rupert. It is the intent of the Agreement that the sewer
connection extension is allowed only for the purpose of
resolving the health issues. The Agreement specifies the
connections shall be allowed for current residential units and
current Tribal facilities which consist of Tribal administration,
Tribal school, Tribal store, the Tribal church, and the current
commercial establishments. Additional new residential
connections are also provided to alleviate the density of
existing residential units. City Attorney Reynolds stressed
that the Agreement does not authorize the connection of the
amphitheater, and the Tribal representatives understand that
the Agreement does not authorize the connection of the
amphitheater to the sanitary sewer system. The only
purpose of the Agreement is to resolve the current sanitation
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21, 1997
problems of the current Tribal population within the current
reservation boundaries. The capacity issues addressed in
the Agreement are to resolve the issue if the authorized
connections consume the capacity of the downstream
system and the need for increased capacity to serve zoned
property within the city.
Councilmember Brothers questioned whether the cost of
supplying additional capacity is addressed in the Agreement.
City Attorney Reynolds explained that a formula was
developed by Utility Engineer Holobaugh and is contained in
the Agreement to provide funding from the Tribe to increase
the capacity consumed by the Tribal connections.
2. Michael Hart, 11716 SE 322nd Street, Auburn, WA
Mr. Hart spoke as President of the Auburn Area Chamber of
Commerce. He invited members of the Council, City staff,
and the public to attend the next Chamber luncheon on
Monday, January 27, 1997 at 11:45 a.m. at the Emerald
Downs Turf Club. Guest speakers will be County
Councilmember Chris Vance and Mayor Charles A. Booth.
3. Stanford Tabb, 1101 Supermall Way, Auburn, WA
Mr. Tabb indicated the Supermall's Annual Report of the
Water Purification System for Storm Waters has been
completed by Pentech Environment. He read an excerpt
from the report which summarized the findings. According to
the report, the Supermall's storm water treatment facilities
met or exceeded the expectations for their performance in
cleaning the storm water leaving the site. The facilities met
every condition for their performance placed on the
Supermall through the City of Auburn rezone ordinance.
Dissolved oxygen leaving the Supermall facilities was
always higher than the downstream stations throughout the
year, thus making a positive contribution to water quality
downstream from the Supermall. Temperature of the
discharge water from the Supermall was always lower than
the downstream station readings. There was no trace
petroleum or hydrocarbons in any of the storm water leaving
the Supermall.
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21, t997
Mr. Tabb indicated that according to his discussions with
downtown merchants, their business is better than ever. He
contended the Supermall has contributed to much of the
downtown business traffic. Mr. Tabb pointed out that the
Supermall rezone ordinance required the Supermall to
provide a shuttle service between downtown and the
Supermall for a period of not less than two years. The two
year period will expire in August 1997. Mr. Tabb distributed
copies of a Laidlaw Rider Count 1996-1995. He noted that
the average number of riders per trip is 2.8. Sixteen
roundtrips are made per day. The riders consist of
teenagers, some employees, and others. He explained that
City representatives and Supermall representatives
petitioned Metro to provide bus service to the Supermall,
and Metro now serves the Supermall with one bus each
hour. Later this year, Metro bus service will be expanded.
Mr. Tabb indicated the downtown shuttle service is a waste
of time and money, and he requests relief from the City. In
response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Mr.
Tabb advised the downtown shuttle service costs $5,000 to
$6,000 per month. Mr. Tabb requested the Supermall be
relieved from providing the shuttle service effective in two
weeks.
City Attorney Reynolds interjected that Mr. Tabb is
addressing a condition of a rezone ordinance. The condition
cannot be negotiated. Any amendment to a rezone
ordinance must follow the public process for a rezone which
includes a Planning Commission public hearing and a City
Council public hearing. City Attorney Reynolds cautioned
Mr. Tabb about making any comments at this time regarding
his request to amend the rezone ordinance and
recommended he pursue his request through the
appropriate rezone process. In response to a question from
Councilmember Wagner, Mr. Tabb submitted an excerpt
from Ordinance No. 4627 regarding the shuttle service
requirement. Mr. Tabb agreed to submit his request to the
Planning and Community Development Committee to
determine whether an amendment to the rezone ordinance
would be required to discontinue shuttle service.
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21. 1997
Mr. Tabb reported the Supermall has paid the Auburn
Downtown Association (ADA) $58,000 to date. According to
the city ordinance, the Supermall is required to pay the ADA
$194,600 over a five year period. In turn, the ADA is to
provide an accounting of their expenditures. Mr. Tabb
indicated he has not yet received an accounting from the
ADA.
In response to a question from Councilmember Borden,
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
advised that the City is negotiating with Metro to provide
half-hour service to the Supermall on one of Metro's
circulator routes. The new service is anticipated to begin in
September 1997.
4. Mike Booarch, 111 "H" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Bocatch suggested postponing shuttle service to a date
pending construction of the Amtrak/Commuter Rail depot.
City Attorney Reynolds advised that a postponement of the
shuttle service would also require an amendment to the
rezone ordinance.
5. Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA, 98002
Ms. Haugen advised she worked at the Supermall's
customer service office for approximately five months.
During that time, she encountered children who rode the
shuttle service from downtown to the Supermall. On
occasion, the children did not realize the shuttle
discontinued service at 6:00 p.m. which left them stranded at
the mall. She also commented that the shuttle service is not
a benefit to the downtown merchants. She expressed her
support for discontinuance of the Supermall shuttle service.
Ms. Haugen commented regarding the Stewart annexation.
She quoted from the staff report and agenda bill regarding
location of the Stewart property in or near King County's
"Urban Separator" or Agricultural Preservation District
designation. Neither designation is given official recognition
in the Auburn Plan. She reminded the Council they have
agreed to annex a portion of agricultural land which King
County determined to be valuable agricultural land. She
Page 10
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21, 1997
suggested the property should be left as a buffer between
the cities of Auburn and Kent.
6. Rick Pierce, The Lakeland Company, 108 South Division,
Auburn, WA, 98001
Mr. Pierce identified himself as a Development Manager for
The Lakeland Company. He reported that The Lakeland
Company recently moved their offices from Bellevue to
downtown Auburn. The Lakeland Company continues to
work towards annexation of their Pierce County properties
and anticipates annexation to the city will occur in the near
future. Mr. Pierce also noted that this evening's agenda
includes a request of The Lakeland Company for final plat
approval of Lakeland Hills Division 10.
7. Dwight Holobaugh, City of Auburn Utilities Engineer
Mr. Holobaugh advised that Muckleshoot Tribal Council
Chairperson Virginia Cross is in the audience this evening.
He questioned whether she should make her comments
regarding Resolution No. 2800 during audience participation
or whether she would be allowed to make comments when
the Resolution is considered under Item VII.B.4 of the
agenda. Mayor Booth advised Chairperson Cross would be
recognized and allowed to comment at either time.
Chairperson Cross deferred comment.
8. Tom Strand, 425 Pike Street NE, Auburn, WA, 98002
Mr. Strand indicated he is a 74-year resident of the city of
Auburn. He questioned whether Amtrak has made a
proposal for location of their station in Auburn. Planning and
Community Director Krauss explained that City
representatives are working with Amtrak in an attempt to
obtain an Amtrak stop in Auburn. City staff will also be
working with the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) to
construct a rail station in Auburn to initially serve the
commuter trains which will begin service in the next few
years. The rail station could serve Amtrak as well as the
commuter rail. Mr. Strand suggested the City require
Amtrak to propose the station location subject to City
approval. Mayor Booth advised that he recently had
conversations with Amtrak representatives who indicated
they are near a decision on their station location.

regarding the possibility of an Amtrak Station in the South
King County area. The cities of Kent and Auburn have been
targeted for possible location of the station. Planning and
Community Development Director Krauss added that Amtrak
has indicated a preference to locate the station in Auburn
because of the Supermall, Emerald Downs, and the
