UNFINISHED BUSINESS At the February 3, 1997 Council meeting, the following item was referred to the Planning & Community Development Committee. A. Auburn Parking Study and Amendments O1.2, O3.4.2.1.2 City Council consideration of adoption of the Parking Study and amendments to Chapter 18.52 of the Auburn City Code. Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember Wagner to adopt the Parking Study and the revised amendments to the Auburn City Code Chapter 18.52, Parking Ordinance, and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance. Councilmember Poe expressed concern with the requirement for persons to sign a no protest agreement to support a local improvement district (LID) for parking with no cost estimates included in the agreement. Councilmember Poe questions the reasons for the proposed changes in the paving requirements for residential parking and the differences between the paving requirements for residential zones and the R-R zone. Assistant Planning Director Rued explained that required parking and not-required parking should be held to the same standards. The rural designation contains different standards than those typically applied to other zoning districts. Councilmember Poe expressed concern that additional residential parking spaces must be paved and be connected by pavement to Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes February 18. 1997 an existing driveway. He added that larger rural lots pose a greater threat by potentially parking more vehicles and for spilling petroleum contaminants. In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Assistant Planning Director Rued advised that since the early 1980's the City has had a requirement that parking lots, whether required parking or otherwise, must be paved and landscaped. There are some unpaved lots which were in existence prior to the requirement and have a nonconforming right. Councilmember Brothers questioned whether the recommendations contained in the Parking Study will be implemented as a result of adopting the Parking Study or whether each recommendation will require a separate ordinance enacting the recommendation. Senior Planner Sokol advised that recommendations for a change in parking fines and changes in off- street parking will require separate actions by the Council. Councilmember Singer asked whether there was discussion in the Parking Study Committee meetings about changing the requirements for paved parking in the downtown area. Senior Planner Sokol advised the issue was discussed. Some people were in favor of unpaved parking in the downtown area. The City has several concerns about unpaved parking including the potential for groundwater contamination, gravel and dirt being spread to streets and sidewalks, and the inability to stripe gravel lots. In response to a question from Councilmember Singer, Assistant Planning Director Rued advised that paving and landscaping is required for all lots being used for parking regardless of whether it is used for employee parking or rented parking. Councilmember Wagner responded to a question from Councilmember Singer regarding the parking requirement reduction for valet parking. He explained that the change from a 50 percent reduction to a 25 percent reduction is more manageable especially if changes in the use occur in the future. Senior Planner Sokol added there was a concern the 50 percent reduction may be too high, and there was no specific justification for the 50 percent reduction. Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes February 18, 1997 MOTION CARRIED. 6-1. Councilmember Singer voted no. VI. NEW BUSINESS A. Application No. PLT0001-94 03.5 PLT0001-94 City Council consideration on the request of property owners for final plat approval of an additional 30-lot single family subdivision known as Riverwalk, Division 2B, located south of Howard Road and west of the Forest Ridge neighborhood. Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember Poe to approve the final plat of Riverwalk, Division 2B, and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance. Councilmember Barber questioned whether the request for final plat approval will affect the access restriction between Riverwalk and the Forest Ridge neighborhoods. Assistant Planning Director Rued explained that the final plat implements the City Council's previous decision including the access restriction. Councilmember Wagner advised he will vote against the request. He believes the grade of the access road to the subdivision is too steep. He advised he supports the access restriction between Riverwalk and the Forest Ridge neighborhoods. In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Assistant Planning Director Rued advised the grade of the access road is 12 percent. MOTION CARRIED. 6-1. Councilmember Wagner voted no. B. 1997-98 Community Development Block Grant Budget F5.4.3, O3.4.1.7 City Council consideration on the proposed 1997-98 Community Development Block Grant Budget in the amount $506,984.

He compared the original financing goals to the actual results. The City obtained a credit rating of A2 from Moody's Investors Service. Moody's was impressed with the strong management team, the City's sound financial plan for future bonding, and the City's sound financial plan for capital improvement needs, The legal bond covenants were updated and the storm drainage pledge was added.

Yeasting, Yeasting & Associates, 1111 Third Avenue, Ste 2500, Seattle, WA, 98101 Mr. Yeasting is an independent financial advisor to the City on the negotiated sale of the revenue bonds. Mr. Yeasting submitted a letter addressed to the Mayor and City Council dated February 18, 1997 regarding the sale of utility system revenue bonds.

Hugh Spitzer, Foster, Pepper & Shefelman, 1111 Third Avenue, Ste 3400, Seattle, WA, 98101 Mr. Spitzer is the bond counsel for the City. The role of the bond counsel is to structure the bond issue to ensure conformance with state law and federal tax requirements and to draft the bond ordinance.
