Page '1 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 21, 1997 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.
