Mayor Booth opened the hearing. City Attorney Reynolds described the history of Puget Western's application for rezone from Unclassified to R-4, multi-family. The application went before the Hearing Examiner who found that the rezone request was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Subsequently, the application came before the the City Council who reversed the decision of the Hearing Examiner. Upon adoption of the ordinance reversing the Hearing Examiner's decision, the applicant appealed the City Council decision to King County Superior Court. The case was reviewed by the Legal Department and the legal counsel for the Washington Cities Insurance Authority who have recommended the City Council reconsider its decision. Page 2 City of Auburn Council Meetin,q Minutes February 17, 1998 Mrs. Ralph Scholz, 4220 Kennedy Avenue SE, Auburn, WA Mrs. Scholz explained that she resides next to the property requested for rezone. She expressed concern with the rezone, especially with the proposed density and traffic on Oravetz Road. She noted that the area has changed since the adoption of the Lakeland Hills Special Area Plan. Assistant Planning Director Lynn Rued outlined the process the applicant must follow in order to develop the property if it is rezoned. The developer must submit application for development either through a building permit or a multi- family development. At lhat time, the developer must submit an environmental checklist outlining the project and describing the project related to the environmental review. The City will conduct an environmental review on the proposed project. The City has already identified concerns with traffic, access, slopes, and storm drainage and will require additional studies as part of the review. The adjoining neighbors will receive notification of the application and the threshold determination with regard to the environmental determination. The environmental determination can be appealed. Mr. Jim Ihnot, Puget Western, Inc., 19515 Northcreek Parkway, #310, Bothell, WA, 98011 Mr. Ihnot identified himself as the attorney representing the applicant, Puget Western. Puget Western is the real estate division of Puget Sound Energy. Mr. Ihnot requested the City Council approve the rezone request which is consistent with the Lakeland Hills Special Area Plan adopted in 1988 and the City's Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1995. Mr. Ihnot indicated that the applicant will address concerns related to the steep slopes, geological constraints, and traffic patterns. Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Lewis seconded to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Lewis seconded to approve the rezone and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance. Page 3 Citv of Auburn Council Meetin,q Minutes Februarv 17, 1998 Councilmember Wagner expressed his dissatisfaction with the hearing examiner system as it now exists. He encouraged the City Council to examine the criteria under which certain projects come to the City Council for hearing and under which criteria projects would go to the Hearing Examiner for hearing. He requested the City Council receive information on his request within the next two months. Mayor Booth advised that a City Council workshop is planned on the subject within the next month. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. 2. Emerqencv Comprehensive Plan Amendments 03.4.3, O3.4.1.14 The King County Council adopted Motion No. 98-100 on February 9, 1998 requesting the County Prosecuting Attorney to file an appeal to the Growth Management Hearings Board of the City's December 15, 1997 Comprehensive Plan Amendments. In its motion the County, identified the classification of Green Valley Road as a minor arterial in the City's Transportation Plan as a point of concern. The City has identified the designation of Green Valley Road as a minor arterial as a technical error. The City's intention was to designate the area between Academy Drive/Green Valley Road to R Street SE in Auburn as a study area for a bypass between SR164 and SR18. This interpretation is consistent with language contained in the City of Auburn Capital Facilities Plan, To avoid the King County appeal of the City's Transportation Plan, the city will amend those sections of the plan which contain mention of the Academy Drive/Green Valley Road Bypass to read that a study will be conducted of possible SR164/SR18 bypass routes to address the regional issue of SR164 traffic. Sections to be amended include Figure 3.1b, Table 5.1,The Six-year TIP Map and Project description and all other relevant sections referring to this project. RCW 36.70A. 130 states that "a city may adopt... revisions to its comprehensive plan...whenever an emergency exists or to resolve an appeal of a comprehensive plan filed with a growth management hearings board.,." The City Attorney Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetin{! Minutes February 17, t998 has determined that the impending King County appeal of the Plan constitutes such an emergency. Senior Planner Bob Sokol recommended that in order to avoid the King County appeal of the City's Transportation Plan, the City Council amend those sections of the plan which contain mention of the Academy Drive/Green Valley Road Bypass. The sections to be amended include Figure 2.4, Figure 3.1b, Table 5.1, the Six Year TIP Map and project description. Since the proposed changes do not represent a significant change of intent regarding this project but merely a correction of a technical error, staff recommends approval of the emergency amendments to avoid potential litigation. Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. No one from the audience requested to speak regarding the emergency Comprehensive Plan amendments. Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Lewis seconded to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0. B. Audience Participation 1. Nancy Colson, 1214 "O" Street NE, Auburn, WA Ms. Colson spoke as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Auburn branch of the King County Library. She spoke in favor of the approval of the schematic design for the new Auburn branch of the King County Library system as proposed under Item IV.D. of these minutes. She spoke in favor of project architect Olson Sundberg's schematic design. The design has been reviewed by the Library Board and the City Council's Public Works and Planning and Community Development Committees. She urged the City Council to approve the schematic design this evening so that the project can proceed with construction beginning this fall and completion by the fall of 1999. 2. Lou Hoffert, 802 45th Street NE, Auburn, WA Mr. Hoffert referred to a Planning and Community Development Committee meeting at which time the library building was discussed. Park and Recreation Director Deal Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes February 17, t998 advised Mr. Hoffert that since the meeting, King County Library Board of Directors dedicated an additional $500,000 to the development of the Auburn branch of the King County Library. 3. Mary Urbach, 1201 Pacific Avenue, Suite 1900, Tacoma, WA Ms. Urbach referred to the special City Council meeting held February 9, 1998 at which time the Council discussed the proposed settlement agreement with the City of Bonney Lake. She recalled her concerns that the settlement agreement would have an adverse impact upon the "unclaimed area" including the Terrace View property along East Valley Highway, three other properties and a portion of Lakeland Hills. Since the February 9, 1998 City Council meeting, she met with the City's utilities staff. Based on the discussions with City staff, she believes there is no legal or engineering impediment to serving the Terrace View property with utilities. Her only concern with the settlement agreement between the City of Auburn and the City of Bonney Lake is that it contain no impediment to serving the Terrace View property with utilities. City Attorney Reynolds advised that no assurances were given to the Terrace View project. The only purpose of the meeting with the Terrace View proponents was to review a potential preannexation agreement. 4. Steve Sheehy, 5004 43Td Avenue South, Seattle, WA Mr. Sheehy identified himself as the attorney representing Lakeland Company. He distributed a handout to the Council which he referred to for his comments. He also displayed a map of the Lakeland Hills area which he referred to throughout his comments. He recalled his comments at the February 9, 1998 special City Council meeting where he requested that the City Council delay action on the settlement agreement with the City of Bonney Lake. The purpose of his comments this evening is to give a progress report on the Lakeland Company's review of the proposed settlement agreement and to offer recommendations. He explained that the area outlined in green on the map represents 685 acres located in Pierce County and owned by Lakeland Company. Property west of the pink line running north/south is assumed to be served by the City of Page 6 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes February 17, 1998 Auburn and as part of Auburn's water service area. The area east of the pink line would be served by the City of Bonney Lake. Mr. Sheehy noted that the pink line bisects the Lakeland property, a potential school site for the Dieringer District, and a proposed subdivision approved by Pierce County. The City's settlement agreement with Bonney Lake requires that the Lakeland Company property will be served by two separate water systems, one by Auburn and one by Bonney Lake. He reported the Lakeland Company has retained a water consulting engineer to meet with Auburn and Bonney Lake staff. According to his understanding of the settlement agreement between the two cities, if Auburn chooses to take over water service seven years after annexation occurs, the City will need to pay for source water necessary to serve the area. Source water equates to approximately 2 million gallons of storage and a cost in excess of $2 million. The City of Auburn will not receive system development charges as system development charges will have already been paid to Bonney Lake. Mr. Sheehy expressed concern that water service from Bonney Lake will cost more than service from the City of Auburn. Mr. Sheehy expressed concern that annexation of the Lakeland Hills area will occur incrementally according to the settlement agreement. As property is annexed, the City may choose to serve the annexed area seven years after annexation has occurred. He questioned how the City will be able to provide service incrementally. Mr. Sheehy suggested that the cost and revenues for the systems be shared equally among the three parties, Auburn, Bonney Lake and Lakeland. He suggested that Auburn eventually take over service for the entire area. He also suggested that the City of Auburn not pay for the cost of source and oversizing pipes. In closing, he requested the City Council delay action on the proposed settlement agreement with Bonney Lake, and he offered to work with Auburn and Bonney Lake to come to a final resolution of all questions, claims and litigation. Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meetin.cl Minutes February 17, t998 5. Chuck Henderson, The Lakeland Company, PC Box 3866, Bellevue, WA, 98009 Mr. Henderson described four concepts for the water engineers to review and a proposition that would enable Lakeland Company to settle all claims. Mr. Henderson proposed that the Lakeland Planning Area will be served as one system by one purveyor. He described the Lakeland Planning Area as the Lakeland annexation area less the properties on the valley floor adjacent to East Valley Highway. The area can be served by Bonney Lake initially and served by Auburn in the future. The Lakeland Planning Area consists of 5,000 equivalent residential units which will require a storage capacity of 2 million gallons. Auburn plans to construct a 5.3 million gallon storage tank in the area to serve as a regional facility. Mr. Henderson described the elements of a settlement of all issues. Auburn and Bonney Lake need to agree on the area of the Lakeland Planning Area and receive approval from the Boundary Review Board and other agencies. He proposed that the City of Bonney Lake collect the development charges from Lakeland and purchase the source from Auburn in conjunction with a regional storage tank. Mr. Henderson called for reasonable system development charges assessed by Bonney Lake in order to come to a settlement of all issues. He indicated the value of the Lakeland project is more than the City of Bonney Lake water system, and the City of Bonney Lake's system development charges are twice as much as they need to be. He requested the City delay action on the settlement agreement with Bonney Lake and to join with Lakeland in encouraging Bonney Lake to negotiate in good faith. The final element is Bonney Lake's intent to charge the customers in the Lakeland Plan Area water rates 40 percent above the rates charged to Bonney Lake residents. Mr. Henderson wants customers in the Lakeland Plan Area to receive inside city water rates. Mr. Henderson acknowledged that a three-party agreement is difficult because of the constraints of regional water association agreements. He suggested that the agreement Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meetin,q Minutes February 17, 1998 proposed by Henderson is more favorable to the City of Auburn than the proposed settlement agreement with Bonney Lake. He requested the City Council defer action on the proposed settlement agreement. Councilmember Wagner asked Mr. Henderson why the City should enter into a three-party agreement with Lakeland for water only when Lakeland has disputed the existing preannexation agreement where water is only one element of the agreement. Mr. Henderson stated there was a dispute as to what the preannexation agreement meant. The dispute was arbitrated and a judge rendered a decision on a small part of the dispute. Subsequent to the arbitration and decision, discussions have been held between the City and Lakeland which have led Lakeland to believe that a complete resolution of all outstanding issues of the preannexation agreement interpretations is possible. Mr. Henderson advised that the water dispute is the most significant issue. 6. Mayor Bob Young, City of Bonney Lake, 7021 181st Avenue East, Bonney Lake, WA Mayor Young indicated he did not arrive in time this evening to hear all of Mr. Henderson's comments. He urged the City Council to approve the settlement agreement between the City of Auburn and City of Bonney Lake. He reported the Bonney Lake City Council unanimously approved the settlement agreement last week. Mayor Booth advised that the City Council would be reviewing the settlement agreement in executive session this evening. C. Correspondence 1.

Councilmember Poe expressed concern with the design of the Auburn library building. He expressed opposition to using exposed fastener metal roofing, giant brick as opposed to a smaller brick, and reverse window wells, which are some of the features used in the construction of the Covington library builc'ing. Councilmember Poe advocated for the City Council's ability to further review the exterior design of the building as the project proceeds.
