b) Pierce County Presentation on Lake Tapps Parkway
County Councilmember Jan Shabro, Deputy County
Executive Fran McNair, and County Engineer Tom
Ballard of Pierce County will be present to provide an
informational presentation on the Lake Tapps
Parkway.
Pierce County Councilmmeber Jan Shabro and
Pierce County Engineer Tom Ballard were in
attendance this evening. Deputy County Execuive
Fran McNair could not attend. County Councilmember
Jan Shabro thanked the City Council for the
opportunity to brief the Council on a Pierce County
project called the Lake Tapps Parkway. She
introduced County Engiener Tom Ballard, who gave
the presentation.
Mr. Ballard advised that the Lake Tapps Parkway
project is a major project which will cost
approximately $50 million over the life of the project.
He distributed copies of a handout to serve as a
guide during his presentation. The project includes
the construction of a corridor which includes a major
east-west arterial to connect the valley floor at the
freeway interchange of SR 167 and 8th Street East to
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes January 20, 1998
the top of the north portion of the Lake Tapps area.
The project has been envisioned for 20 or more
years, and in 1994, the Pierce County Council began
the process for the alignment of the parkway. Pierce
County has formed a partnership with the Lakeland
Company to share the cost of constructing the
parkway. The Transportation Improvement Board
has also contributed funding for the project. Mr.
Ballard explained the portions of the parkway
depicted in bold on his handout represent portions of
the project already funded at a cost of approximately
$30 million. Approximately $12 to $14 million will be
contributed by the County, $6 million by the State
Transportation Improvement Board, and
approximately $10 million by the Lakeland Company.
The first phase of the project includes construction of
the parkway from East Valley Highway up to the
Lakeland entrance at Lakeland Hills Way and to the
border of their property. The second phase includes
construction of a ramp connecting the East Valley
Highway with the parkway and a portion of the east
end of the project connecting the parkway down to
Sumner-Tapps via a north-south extension of
SumneroTapps Highway. The final funded portion of
the project includes construction of a bridge
overcrossing the East Valley Highway and the
Burlington Northern railroad tracks and connecting to
the valley floor at 8th Street East. The last part of the
project includes finishing the parkway connection
from the Sumner-Tapps location to 182"d Avenue.
The main portion of the parkway will include three
uphill lanes, a median area, and two downhill lanes.
Pedestrian facilities will be located on both sides of
the parkway. The parkway interchange at 8th Street
East will include traffic signals. Through the City of
Pacific, the parkway will include a five-lane road with
curbs, gutters and sidewalks. When the project is first
constructed, three lanes and curbs and gutters will be
constructed for the parkway. Traffic at this time
warrants only three lanes of traffic, two uphill and one
downhill lane.

City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 20, 1998
In response to a question from Councilmember
Borden, Mr. Ballard advised that Pierce County is
working with the City of Pacific on the City's
application for a grant application to the
Transportation Improvement Board for the section of
the parkway through the city of Pacific. Pierce
County is also looking to apply for a grant to widen a
section of the roadway from the parkway to the river.
The Burlington Northern and Union Pacific crossings
are included as priority projects in the FAST corridor
study and will be funded by the State when funding is
available,
Mr. Ballard advised that Section 1 of the project,
which includes construction of three lanes of the
parkway and right-of-way, will cost approximately $8
million.
Councilmember Borden inquired whether annexation
by the City of any portion of the area would obligate
the City to contribute to the project. Mr. Ballard
responded that currently the project is entirely under
the jurisdiction of Pierce County with the exception of
a portion of the project in the city of Pacific. Mr.
Ballard acknowedged concerns exist regarding the
project if the area is annexed. He indicated he has
corresponded with Planning and Community
Development Director Krauss to begin a dialogue
prior to an annexation occurring.
In response to a question from Councilmember Lewis,
Mr. Ballard explained that at the present time, the City
of Auburn has no financial obligation for the parkway.
However, if annexation of the area should occur,
Pierce County has concerns with the loss of
jurisdictional control over the parkway. Mr. Ballard
suggested a preannexation agreement to outline the
expectations and jurisdictional control for construction
of the parkway.
Councilmember Poe asked whether the City would
have any obligation to the project if a preannexation
Page 4
City of Auburn Council MeetinQ Minutes January 20, t998
agreement exists but annexation has not occurred.
Mr. Ballard advised that if annexation does not occur
the provisions of the agreement would not be
activated. The timetable for the project is 12 to 15
years. Construction is anticipated to begin in 1998
with the bulk of the project complete by 1999 or 2000.
Mayor Booth asked whether partial annexation of the
overall area would have a negative impact on the
project. Mr. Ballard indicated it would not as long as
the annexation did not involve a property owner that
is part of the parkway alignment.
City Attorney Reynolds suggested an inter-
jurisdictional agreement, much like the one
accomplished for the Foothills Trail, should be
explored between Pierce County and the City of
Auburn and which would become effective only at
time of annexation.

II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
The following are closed record hearings where comments are
limited to the existing record and no new evidence or information is
allowed to be submitted.
1. Application No. PLT0002~97
03.5
The request of Intracorp for preliminary plat approval for 38
single family lots on property located westerly of West Valley
Highway and northwesterly of 11t~ Street NW.
(See Item/I. C. 1 for correspondence related to Application
Nos. PL TOOO2-97and MINO001-97.)
Refer to Item II.A.2 of these minutes for action on
Application No. PL TO002-97.
2. Application No. MIN0001-97
O3.10.3
The request of Intracorp for a surface mining permit to
excavate 88,000 cubic yards of material for construction of
Vistara Phase II located westerly of the West Valley
Highway and northwesterly of 11th Street NW.
(See Item II. C. 1 for correspondence related to Application
Nos. PL TO002-97 and MINO001-97.)
Since Application Nos. PLT0002-97 and MIN0001-97 relate
to the same property and project, Mayor Booth opened the
closed record hearing on both applications. Assistant
Planning Director Rued presented the staff report. Mr. Rued
first addressed issues raised by Councilmember Wagner at
the last Council meeting regarding stability of slopes and the
private street. In regard to the stability of slopes, City
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes January 20, 1998
Attorney Reynolds suggests that as part of the final plat
approval and recording, the City include a disclaimer on the
plat which will advise potential property owners of the
excavation and steep slopes. With regard to the proposed
private street, Mr. Rued advised the proposed private street
will serve lots 16 and 17, and noted the Hearing Examiner's
Findings and Decision mistakenly refers to lots 77 and 78.
The City Code allows a maximum grade of 12% for City
streets; however, after consultation with the Fire Marshal
and Planning and Community Development Director, the
City Engineer can approve a 15% grade. A decision
regarding the grade of the proposed street has not been
made. If the applicant is required to build a public street, a
50-foot right-of-way and 90-foot diameter cul-de-sac would
be required to serve two lots. The public street would
require additional grading and excavation and consume
more land space. The applicant proposes and staff is
recommending a private street approximately 170 feet long,
Colin Lund, Triad Associates, 11814 115th Avenue NE,
Kirkland, WA, 98034
Mr. Lund identified himself as the representative for the
applicant. Mr. Lund referred to the overlay drawings
transmitted with the correspondence identified under Item
II.C.1 of these minutes. The overlays demonstrate the
proposal on the base map with an overlay of what could be
done. The construction of a cul-de-sac requires additional
excavation and creates higher retaining walls and more
width to accommodate the retaining walls. Mr. Lurid spoke
in favor of a private access tract to access lots 16 and 17
with a grade of no more than 15%.
Councilmember Wagner noted that lot 15 panhandles on the
proposed access. Mr. Lund explained the City allows
panhandle lots, and lot 15 may or may not ultimately be
served by the private access tract.
Councilmember Wagner suggested that the developer
should eliminate lot 15 and construct a public cul-de-sac with
reasonable retaining walls. Mr. Lund referred back to the
original approved plat for Sunning Hills which provided for a
much longer street serving five to six lots. The proposal
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes January 20, 1998
presented this evening contains three less lots than
originally approved in the Sunning Hills plat. Mr. Lund
acknowledged that some of the lots in the original Sunning
Hills plat were questionable as to their feasibility.
Councilmember Borden asked whether a tree replacement
formula, like the one recommended by City Forestem, will be
used for Phase 2 of Vistara. Mr. Lund referred to Hearing
Examiner Condition No. 3 for tree replacement and
maintenance. Assistant Planning Director Rued explained
that the arborist for City Foresters prepared the report for the
purpose of analyzing the tree removal and replacement in
Phase 1. Many of the trees left standing in Phase 1 suffered
disease. Tree replacement for Phase 2 will be carried out
according to Hearing Examiner Condition No. 3.
Councilmember Wagner inquired whether the Fire
Department can require a turnaround at the end of the
private street. Fire Marshal Smith explained that his
recommendation included the option to either provide a
turnaround or to include sprinkler systems in the homes on
lots 16 and 17. If a turnaround is constructed, the fire
hydrant will be placed at the turnaround. If sprinkler systems
are installed in the homes, the fire hydrant will be placed in
accordance with city code for residential spacing. Hearing
Examiner Condition No. 2 includes the recommendations of
the Fire Marshal.
In response to a question from Councilmember Cerino,
Assistant Planning Director Rued noted that Hearing
Examiner Condition No. 2 provides that the private street will
be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the
City Engineer.
Motion by Councilmmeber Borden, second by
Councilmember Singer to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by
Councilmember Singer to approve the preliminary plat based
upon the Hearing Examiner's findings of fact, conclusions
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meetin.q Minutes Januarv 20, 1998
and conditions, and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare
the necessary ordinance.
Councilmember Wagner proposed an amendment to the
motion to correct the findings of fact to read lots 16 and 17
on Condition No. 2, to require signing the private street as a
private street, and to include a requirement for either a
covenant or similar document that a buyer would be made
aware of and limits the City's liability with respect to slope
stability for all lots in Phase 2. Councilmember Borden and
Councilmember Singer accepted the amendment to the
motion. The purpose of the covenant is to serve as an
advisement of slope stability and hold harmless against
possible stability problems.
Councilmember Poe questioned the effectiveness of the
proposed covenant or advisement against future litigation if
the slopes become unstable.
Councilmember Wagner spoke in favor of the covenant as
an effort to alert property owners and possibly prevent
claims against the City.
Councilmember Poe expressed concern that the covenant
will place a hardship on the developer in selling the
properties. Councilmember Wagner suggested the wording
of the covenant should not create a hardship on the
developer and should protect the City from potential
lawsuits. Councilmember Poe suggested City staff advise
the applicant of the covenant language.
Colin Lund
Mr. Lund requested that the applicant and the applicanrs
engineers participate in drafting the language for the
covenant.
Glenn Mann, 5418 159th Place NE, Redmond, WA
Mr. Mann identified himself as the president of a
geotechnical consulting group involved with the Vistara
project. He acknowledged that it is not uncommon to p)ace
covenants on properties where steep slopes exist.
However, the covenant will not prevent lawsuits from being
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meetin,q Minutes January 20, 1998
filed. He noted that the soil types in Vistara, Phase 2, are
different from the soils in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood.
He added that property owner's post-construction
maintenance of their property is most critical in preventing
property damage.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by
Councilmember Lewis to approve the surface mining permit
based upon the Hearing Examiner's findings of fact,
conclusions and conditions, and to instruct the City Attorney
to prepare the necessary ordinance.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
B. Audience Participation
Aaron Richards, 729 Third Avenue NE, Pacific, WA
Mr. Richards identified himself as the ASB President of Auburn
Riverside High School. He proposed changing the name of
Oravetz Road to a name identified with Riverside High School to
promote school sprirt at the high school. Mr. Richards identified
three homes that front on Oravetz Road as well as parks and
schools. He also noted that the Oravetz name would continue to
be memorialized through another existing street, Oravetz Place.
He requested information on how to proceed with his request.
In response to a question from Councilmember Wagner, Mr.
Richards advised that he has not personally spoken to the
homeowners on Oravetz Road but that the parents of a Riverside
High Shcool student live in one of the homes on Oravetz Road.
Councilmember Wagner suggested the Council investigate the
request to learn if there is any objection from the property owners
along Oravetz Road. Mayor Booth suggested that Mr. Richards
direct a written request to the appropriate Council committee for
review. Councilmembers Poe and Borden expressed their support
for the name change.

VII. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. O~inances
1. Ordinance No. 5029
O3.3.12
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Auburn,
Washington, authorizing the City to enter into an Interlocal
Agreement with the Port of Seattle relating to wetlands
construction, community development, and property transfer.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by
Councilmember Singer to introduce and adopt Ordinance
No. 5029 and authorize the Interlocal Agreement with the
Port of Seattle.
Page 14
City of Auburn Council Meetin,q Minutes January 20, 1998
Mr. Krauss explained that the Port purchased the property
and obligated the property under their environmental impact
statement for wetland mitigation for the SeaTac Airport third
runway project. Of the 69 acres, the Port plans to create a
50-acre wetland. The Port is proposing compensation to the
City in the form of cash and property for the cost normally
borne by the property for services in the area. Twenty acres
of the property will be dedicated to the City. The Port plans
to excavate 50 acres to the level of the floodplain. The flood
waters which now back up onto other privately-held
properties will be transferred to the Port's property. This will
allow the development of the privately-held properties which
were previously undevelopable floodplain. The Port's
financial contribution and land dedication will be used to
cover the cost of utilitiy services in the area, floodplain
conversion, and development of the City's 20 acre parcel.
In response to a question from Councilmember Cerino, Mr.
Krauss explained that the 20 acre parcel is not suggested
for use as a regional storm drainage detention basin. The
optimal site for a regional basin is further to the north. He
suggested using the 20 acres to secure land within the city
in a location more suitable for the regional basin.
Councilmember Poe asked whether there are plans for a
stormwater detention facility at the southwest corner of
277th and "1" Street. Special Projects Engineer Locke
advised that an update of the City's regional storm drainage
plan is planned as a result of the Agreement and an
optimum location for the regional storm drainage facility can
be determined.
Councilmember Lewis questioned the Port's plans for the
excavated materials. Mr. Locke explained that the
excavated materials may be used to either fill another
floodplain, provided the necessary permits are obtianed,
stockpiled, or used as part of the third runway project.
Councilmember Poe expressed regret that approximately 60
acres of developable property is being converted to a
wetland and taken off the City's tax rolls. Councilmember
Page 15
City of Auburn Council Meetin.Q Minutes January 20, 1998
Cerino noted that when the Port of Seattle purchased the
property it was taken off the City's tax rolls.
Mr. Locke advised that since the Port included the Auburn
site for wetland mitigation in their environmental impact
statement for the third runway project, they essentially have
no other option. City staff members have been working with
the Port over the past year on their plans to locate the
wetland mitigation site in the city.
In response to a question from Councilmember Wagner,
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
advised the stockpile of the excavation materials will be
addressed through the SEPA process and conditions of the
project.
Councilmember Poe questioned Section 4.4 which provides
for refunding to the Port if funds are not expended, and
specifically the amount retained by the City for administrative
costs, Finance Director Supler explained that she had
suggested the City request an admininstrative fee of two-
tenths of one percent interest in case of a refund.
