Application No. V-01-99
03.9
A petition for vacation of a portion of right-of-way on the

SR 167 has been filed by two-thirds or more of the property
owners abutting that portion of right-of-way sought to be
vacated.
City Engineer Dennis Dowdy presented the staff report on
Application No. V-01-99. The applicant, Mr. Gary Volchok
on behalf of Larry Benaroya, requests the vacation of right-
of-way on the north side of 37th Street NW approximately
200 feet east of State Route 167. The site is also in the
area where a developer has relocated the drainage of Mill
Creek. No objections have been received regarding the
vacation. Mr. Dowdy pointed out the area to be vacated on
a map. He indicated there is no need for the right-of-way to
support the street or other utilities in the near future. The
vacation benefits the applicant by providing additional area
for parking and meeting the City's landscaping requirements.
Staff recommends approval of the vacation.

Moratorium on filinq of applications for business licenses
and buildin.q permits for food or drink establishmept.~
conductin.q commercial stimulant card ,qam~-.~*
o7.1
On December 21, 1998, the Auburn City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 5198 establishing a moratorium on the filing
of applications for business licenses and building permits for
food or drink establishments conducting commercial
stimulant card games. The moratorium was effective upon
its adoption on December 21, 1998, and continued in effect
for six (6) months thereafter unless repealed, renewed or
modified by the City Council after a public hearing and entry
of findings of fact.
On June 7, 1999, the Auburn City Council, following a public
hearing on the moratorium, adopted Ordinance No. 5249
extending the moratorium on the filing of applications for
business licenses and building permits for food or drink
establishments conducting commercial stimulant card
games. The Ordinance was effective immediately upon
adoption and will continue in effect for six (6) months
thereafter unless repealed, renewed or modified by the City
Council.
City Attorney Reynolds presented the staff report for the
hearing on the moratorium. He explained that the purpose
of the public hearing is to conduct a hearing on a temporary
moratorium. Anytime a city places a moratorium on any
subject, a public hearing is required. The City Council
previously established a moratorium for six months. Prior to
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meetin;i Minutes June 21, 1~;~
the expiration of that moratorium, the City Council then
adopted another moratorium for an additional six months.
This evening's public hearing is on the second moratorium.
The existing moratorium will run for six months unless
modified by the City Council.
Also at the last meeting, the City Council directed staff to
formulate an ordinance regarding gambling. The ordinance
appears on the agenda this evening as Ordinance No. 5250.
The Ordinance, as drafted, contains a provision for
termination of the moratorium upon its passage. The
Ordinance also provides for a ban on commemial stimulant
card games and provides for a five year phase out for
existing commemial stimulant card game operations.
Mr. Reynolds noted that the regulation of gaming activities is
severely restricted. The state of Washington has preempted
the gaming field. The state is the regulatory agency and
gives a municipality the authority to totally ban gaming
operations. City Attorney Reynolds added that to allow
existing commercial stimulant card game operations and ban
all future commercial stimulant card game operations is an
unanswered question in the current court system. However,
he referred the Council to the state statute which provides
that a municipality can ban all gaming operations. He
further noted that the state statute provides that the State
Gambling Commission cannot discriminate and cannot limit
the number of gaming operations in a jurisdiction. He
concluded that cities can either allow gaming operations or
ban them entirely.
Mr. Reynolds noted that if the City Council approves a ban,
the Ordinance provides for a five-year phase out period. He
noted that a number of years ago the City of Vancouver
tested a two-year phase out period, which was ultimately
upheld. He also noted that the City of Kent recently enacted
a five-year phase out period as part of their ban on gaming
operations.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the purpose of the hearing is to
receive comments on the continuation of the moratorium.
He also suggested that the members of the audience could
Page 5
City of Auburn Council MeetinR Minutes June 21,
comment on Ordinance No. 5250 during the hearing since
the Ordinance calls for the termination of the moratorium,
Additionally, Mr. Reynolds advised that Ordinance No. 5250
will affect enhanced card rooms and other nonhouse-banked
card rooms. The Ordinance does not affect non-profit
organizations conducting gambling activities such as bingo.
City Attorney Reynolds read the title of Ordinance No. 5250.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. He instructed
members of the audience to limit their comments to two
minutes and to avoid repetitive comments.
Councilmember Poe announced that although he was
absent from the June 7, 1999 City Council meeting, he has
reviewed the record from that meeting and listened to the
recording of the proceedings.
Mayor Booth asked for a show of hands from those in the
audience who are in favor of a total ban of card rooms.
Mayor Booth indicated there was a substantial response
from the audience in favor of a total ban.

Council to adopt an ordinance to prohibit mini-casinos and
phase out the existing card rooms. She pointed out that the

want to come to Auburn to open mini-casinos.
Page15
City of Auburn Council Meetin;i Minutes June 21, 1999
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Barber
seconded to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 5250.
Councilmember Lewis commented that the state legislature
and State Gambling Commission have caused the mini-
casino dilemma that cities are now trying to address.
Councilmember Lewis moved and Councilmember Poe
seconded to amend Ordinance No. 5250 as follows: Page
3, delete line 8 through line 15; page 4, Section 3, to read
"Those establishments currently licensed by the Washington
State Gambling Commission and/or lawfully operating in the
City as of June 7, 1999, may continue to operate social card
games as a commercial stimulant." with the remainder of
Section 3 deleted.
Councilmember Wagner acknowledged that City Attorney
Reynolds has advised that the amendment may not be legal
according to the State Attorney General Office opinion.
Councilmember Wagner disagreed that the opinion is clear
on whether the City can place a ban on any new casinos
while allowing those that are currently licensed to continue.
Following discussion regarding the moratorium,
Councilmember Lewis amended his motion to include
deletion of Section 6 and modify Section 7 to read:
"If any provision of this ordinance is
determined to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, the remaining provisions shall
remain in force and in effect and the
moratorium established in Ordinances 5249
and 5198 shall be in effect."
Councilmember Poe concurred with the amended motion.
Councilmember Poe spoke in favor of the motion. He stated
that he would prefer not to have gambling establishments in
Auburn, but believes it is unfair to ban a business that has
made a commitment to the community.
Page 16
City of Auburn Council Meetin;! Minutes June 21, 1999
Councilmember Lewis spoke in favor of the motion which will
honor the commitments made and ensure that no further
mini-casinos locate in the city.
Councilmember Cerino spoke in favor of the motion. He
expressed concern with fiscal issues for the City and
indicated he would vote for the amendment.
Councilmember Borden expressed concern with the legality
of the proposed amendment,
Councilmember Barber spoke in favor of the amendment.
She spoke in favor of allowing Freddies and Funsters in the
city and to ban any further card rooms in the city.
Councilmember Singer disagreed with Councilmember
Borden's comment that the amendment would not be upheld
opening up the city to proliferation of gambling. She pointed
out that the severability and invalidity clause of the
ordinance provides that if any portion of the ordinance is
found to be unenforceable, the remaining sections of the
ordinance would remain in effect and the ordinance would
revert to a total ban on card rooms.
City Attorney Reynolds cautioned that since the ordinance
provides that some card rooms are allowed while new card
rooms are banned, the State Gambling Commission may
interpret the ordinance as being void entirely. Since the
Gambling Commission is the licensing agency, they may
process licenses when the moratorium expires.
Councilmember Poe suggested the City extend the
moratorium until the state addresses the issue of mini-
casinos. City Attorney Reynolds advised that the State
Gambling Commission will not have their permanent rules
on card rooms promulgated for another year.
Councilmember Borden questioned why the
Councilmembers supporting the amendment are treating
Funsters the same as Freddies Club. She noted that
Funsters has applied for a license but does not have a
building in Auburn.
Page 17
City of Auburn Council MeetinR Minutes June 21, 1999
Councilmember Cerino responded that Funsters has made a
considerable investment in engineering, architectural, and
land acquisition costs in the city of Auburn.
In response to a question from Councilmember Borden,
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
stated that City staff have had a preapplication meeting with
the proponents of Funsters, but to the best of his knowledge
no permits or further actions have occurred since then.
Councilmember Poe remarked that the Council was advised
previously that Funsters was grandfathered into the process.

City of Auburn Council Meetin;i Minutes June 21, 1999
Audience Participation
Judi Roland, 1015 Pike Street NE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Roland identified herself as president of Homes by Judi. She
requested the City Council vote in favor of the emergency
Comprehensive Plan amendments regarding the Level of Service
for transportation within the city of Auburn. The emergency
amendment will allow the City of Auburn to build and develop in a
positive direction. Ms. Roland indicated she is willing to pay a fair
share of the transportation costs for development in the Lakeland
area.
Councilmember Wagner read for the benefit of Ms. Roland an
excerpt from the April 29, 1998 Lakeland Annexation and Utilities
Agreement regarding transportation fees. He recited the four fee
amounts contained in the Agreement related to transportation
agreed to by The Lakeland Company. Councilmember Wagner
asked for a response from Ms. Roland regarding the fees.
Ms. Roland indicated that Homes by Judi has been willing to work
with various jurisdictions regarding various fees. She indicated that
the fees appear to be fair.
Alan Keimi.q, 218 "A" Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Keimig spoke on behalf of the Thistle Development Group,
which is working to develop a retail space in South Auburn. He
requested the City Council approve the emergency Comprehensive
Plan amendments. He also asked the City Council to make the
transportation mitigation fees reasonable and representative of the
project and its impact on the City's infrastructure.
Councilmember Wagner asked Mr. Keimig's opinion on whether the
transportation fees quoted earlier are acceptable. Mr. Keimig
responded that the fees appear to be on the high end of the range
acceptable to the developer. He stressed that the project impacts
thirteen vehicular trips in the peak hour.
In response to a question from Councilmember Lewis, Mr. Keimig
estimated the gross retail feet for the project to be 22,000 square
feet.

Bob Bailey, 5303 228th Avenue NE, Redmond, WA
Mr. Bailey spoke in support of the proposed emergency
Comprehensive Plan amendments. Mr. Bailey advised that he
owns the property that Judi Roland is looking to develop.
Steven Grassi, Kussman Associates, PO 1705, Bothell, WA
Mr. Grassi advised that his firm represents Michael R. Maestro
Properties, which plans to develop a 124-unit apartment project
referred to as Mill Pond Apartments at Mill Pond Drive and 47th
Street SE. A traffic study was prepared for the project which
determined that the project would contribute approximately 1.2% of
the traffic at the intersection of "A' and 41st Street SE. The
development is in jeopardy because an acceptable Level of Service
cannot be met whether the project is built and despite the
developers intent to pay mitigation fees to offset traffic impacts.
Mr. Grassi indicated the project would generate 54 vehicles per
hour out of the total of 4,384 vehicles per hour entering the
intersection. The development will be contributing a proportionate
share toward signalization at the intersection of East Valley
Highway and Lakeland Hills Way. Mr. Grassi asked that the City
Council approve the emergency Comprehensive Plan amendments
to reduce the Level of Service at the intersection of "A" Street and
41st Street SE.
