II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
The following hearing is considered a closed record hearing. A
closed record hearing is a hearing where comments are limited to
the existing record and no new evidence or information is allowed
to be submitted.
1. Application No. CAP0001-97
A3.23.1
An appeal filed by Paul and Tina Christiansen on the
Hearing Examiner's decision dated June 25, 1997 to deny a
special home occupation permit that would have allowed the
Christiansens to install car stereos and alarm systems within
automobiles at their residence located at 409 "U" Street S.E,
in Auburn.
Assistant Planning Director Lynn Rued presented the staff
report on Application No. CAP0001-97. He reported that at
the Hearing Examiner's public hearing on Mr. and Mrs.
Christiansen's application for a special home occupation,
several neighbors expressed concerns and opposition to the
special home occupation. Additionally, a petition in
opposition to the special home occupation and signed by
numerous neighbors was submitted. Based on the concerns
expressed by the neighboring residents and other criteria,
the Hearing Examiner denied the Christiansen's request for
a special home occupation. Subsequently, the
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes July 21, 1997
Christiansen's appealed the Hearing Examiner's decision to
the City Council.
Mayor Booth opened the closed record hearing.
Tina Christiansen, 409 "U" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Mrs. Christiansen spoke in favor of her application for a
special home occupation. She objected to the Hearing
Examiner decision's reference to her residence as a rental
or leased property. Mrs. Christiansen explained their
application was for a temporary special home occupation
permit for a period of six months in order to establish their
business and open a permanent shop in another location.
In response to a question from Councilmember Singer, Mrs.
Christiansen advised that she and her husband currently
have a business registration for a mobile operation. When
the Christiansens indicated a change to their business
registration to include automotive stereo and alarm
installations at their home, the Planning Department staff
advised them a special home occupation permit would be
required.
Judy Scott, 407 "V" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Scott spoke in favor of the Hearing Examiner's decision
to deny the Christiansen's application for a special home
occupation. She indicated there have been problems in the
past with car alarm and stereo noise coming from the
Christiansen residence. According to Mrs. Scott, some of
the incidents have resulted in calls to the police department
for response. Mrs. Scott expressed concern with the effect
of such a home occupation on neighboring property owners'
property values, and the precedent that may be established.
She also expressed concern with the potential for increased
traffic on the cul-de-sac if the Christiansen's are allowed a
special home occupation.
In response to questions from Councilmember Brothers, Ms.
Scott advised she has resided in her present home for
approximately four years and estimated the Christiansen's
have lived in their home for approximately 18 months to two
years.
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes July 21. 1997
Bill Robinson, 408 "U" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Robinson indicated he resides directly across the street
from Mr. and Mrs. Christiansen. He noted that all residents
of the cul-de-sac have signed a petition opposing Mr. and
Mrs. Christiansen's application for a special home
occupation because of past noise problems from the
Christiansen residence. Mr. Robinson reported he has
called 9-1-1 because of the noise. He expressed concern
that additional traffic will be created on the cul-de-sac as a
result of the special home occupation.
In response to questions from Councilmember Brothers
regarding noise complaint citations, City Attorney Reynolds
advised that the City can prosecute noise complaints under
the City's nuisance ordinance without the responding officer
witnessing the noise. The cases are difficult to prove and
require neighbors to testify that the noise will disturb their
peace and tranquillity.
Judy Scott, 407 "V" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Scott informed the Council that in the past she was
advised by the Police Department there is no noise
ordinance; however, they will respond to noise complaints
but cannot issue a citation if challenged.
In response to questions from Council, City Attorney
Reynolds explained the City can prosecute noise complaints
under the Washington Administrative Code, which requires
decibel level readings or under the City's nuisance
ordinance, which requires an investigation and testimony of
neighboring residents. The nuisance ordinance was
adopted within the last 18 months, and the City has
prosecuted cases under the nuisance ordinance.
Tina Christiansen, 409 "U" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Christiansen spoke in favor of her appeal and to allow
her special home occupation. She noted the business will
be conducted completely within an enclosed garage. She
indicated the complaints and calls to 9-1~1 about stereo
noise from her residence are a result of a neighborhood
dispute and not related to her and her husband's business.
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes July 21, 1997
Kristina Hicks, 1113 - 3rd Street NE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Hicks reported that her mother and mentally disabled
sister live next door to Mr. and Mrs. Christiansen. She
spoke on behalf of her mother who opposes the
Christiansen's application for a special home occupation.
She expressed concern with noise, additional traffic and
parking problems which may be created by the special home
occupation.
Tina Christiansen, 409 "U" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Mrs. Christiansen spoke in favor of allowing her and her
husband to conduct their livelihood at their residence and
indicated they do not intend to be disruptive to the
neighborhood.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by
Councilmember Wagner to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Borden indicated that when considering
home occupation permits, the City must ensure that the
activity is not disruptive to the neighborhoods. She
expressed her belief that Mr. and Mrs. Christiansen's special
home occupation could potentially disrupt the neighborhood.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by
Councilmember Wagner to affirm the Hearing Examiner's
decision.
Councilmember Cerino spoke in favor of affirming the
Hearing Examiner's decision in light of the number of
neighboring residents who oppose the special home
occupation.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.

B. Audience Participation
1. Lee McDaniel, 623 - 1 st Avenue East, Pacific, WA
Mr. Lee spoke on behalf of his sister, Marilyn, who resides at
222 "D" Street SW in Auburn and is developmentally
disabled. Mr. Lee reported that his sister was attacked
Monday by a pit bull dog. He has begun an effort to prevent
further pit bull attacks and require all pit bull dog owners to
have the resources to pay for damages caused by such an
attack. Mr. Lee indicated he will compile his ideas in a letter
to the Council later this week. Mr. Lee also reported that the
pit bull dog which attacked his sister was previously involved
in staged dog fights.
Mayor Booth recommended that Mr. Lee also bring the
matter to the attention of King County. Mr. Lee reported that
King County Animal Control did not respond to his sister's
attack until 30 hours after the incident. Mayor Booth
encouraged Mr. Lee to advise the King County Executive of
King County Animal Contrel's failure to respond in a timely
manner. City Attorney Reynolds also added that King
County Animal Control is under contract to the City to
respond to animal complaints within the city of Auburn. If
Mr. Lee's description of King County Animal Contrel's
response time is correct, the City would address the issue
under the City's contract with King County. Mr. Lee advised
that he has attempted to contact King County
Councilmembers, but they have not returned his calls. Mr.
Lee advised he will submit a letter to the City Council as
soon as possible, and requested the City Council address
his concerns.
Councilmember Borden thanked Mr. McDaniels for attending
the meeting this evening. She indicated her desire to review
the contract with King County for animal control services.
Mayor Booth advised that he will refer review of the contract
with King County for animal control services to the Municipal
Services Committee.
