Assistant Planning Director Lynn Rued presented the staff
repod. The proposed annexation consists of thirty-three
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 18, 2000
acres containing single family homes, including a developed
subdivision.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Doug Hill, 30658 Green River Road SE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Hill expressed opposition to being included in the
annexation. He opposes annexation because he would lose
curbside recycling, would be subject to higher garbage rates
with less service, and has a negative impression 'from City
staff responses over the last several years. He explained
that his property and the property to the east of his are not
adjacent to city limits and are maintained as rural. Mr. Hill
stated that his property is served by private water and sewer
systems, and he prefers to exist under the rule. of King
County and not the City of Auburn. He urged the Council to
exclude his property from the annexation boundaries.
Councilmember Brothers questioned the reason Cobble
Creek was not included in the annexation boundaries.
Assistant Planning Director Rued responded that the City
received no interest from Cobble Creek residents to annex
to the city at this time. Mr. Rued identified the proposed
annexation on the Comprehensive Plan Map located in the
Council Chambers.
Judi Roland, 1015 Pike Street NE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Roland owns approximately ten acres of the thirty-three
acres proposed for annexation. Ms. Roland keeps
racehorses as well as other animals on her property, and
asked for assurances that she would be able to maintain her
animals on her property after annexation. ,Assistant
Planning Director Rued referred to the proposed Lea Hill
zoning changes, which would allow farm animals as
currently allowed by King County.
In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers,
City Attorney Reynolds clarified that another King County
ordinance limits the number of livestock unless you have an
approved conservation plan. However, the livestock issue is
a separate issue.
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meetin_~ Minutes January 18, 2000
Ms. Roland indicated she is not opposed to the annexation,
but wanted assurances that she is allowed to maintain
animals as King County now allows.
Virginia Haugen, 2503 R Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Haugen commented on King County services and City
services.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmemb,er Singer
moved to close the public hearing.
Councilmember Poe commented on Mr. Hill's concern
regarding garbage service. He noted that the garbage
franchise would not revert to the City's franchisee for seven
years. He indicated the Municipal Services Committee is
investigating the feasibility of curbside recycling.
Councilmember Poe proposed adopting the Kin!;] County
zoning classifications for the Lea Hill area.
Assistant Planning Director Rued explained annexation of
the roadways. Annexation must occur on either side of the
roadway.
Councilmember Brothers questioned the effect of removing
Mr. Hill's property from the annexation. Assistant Planning
Director Rued stated it is unlikely the Boundary Review
Board would approve the annexation without Mr. Hill's
property since it would create an island of unincorporated
area.
Councilmember Singer questioned the location of the urban
growth boundary line on the east side of the Green River.
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss
explained that he has not obtained a definitive map of the
urban/rural boundary, but speculated it is further up river.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers,
Assistant Planning Director Rued stated propelf owners
representing at least sixty percent of the assessed valuation
of the property must sign a petition for annexation. The City
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes January 18, 2000
received signatures representing sixty-two percent of the
assessed valuation.
Councilmember Poe spoke in favor of deleting the Hill and
Roland properties from the annexation at this time.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Poe
seconded to approve the proposed annexation deleting the
Hill and Roland properties from the annexation boundaries
and requested the City Attorney prepare the r~ecessary
Resolution.
Councilmember Lewis commented that Mr. Hill and Ms.
Roland should be made aware that the annexation of their
properties will probably occur in the near future.
Councilmember Wagner noted that the adjacent county
right-of-way should be excluded as well.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
2. Interim Amendments to Chapter 18.28 C-2 Central Business
District
o3.4.2.1.2
On December 6, 1999, the Auburn City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 5324 extending interim changes and interim
zoning controls for C-2 Central Business District. Interim
amendments to Chapter 18.28 of the Zoning Ordinance
consist of new development standards for parking garages
constructed in association with the commuter rail/bus
transfer station. These amendments are being presented as
interim, during which time work continues on a Downtown
Plan, which will finalize any zoning change
recommendations. A draft Downtown Plan, with Preliminary
Environmental Impact Statement was issued on August 13,
1999. The interim amendments ensure that dewglopment
that occurs between now and Plan adoptlion and
implementation will be compatible with the Plan.
Associate Planner Bea Sanders presented the sta~ff report.
Ms. Sanders reported that the Sound Transit Commuter Rail
Station, also known as the Transit Center, is under
Page 5
Citv of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes Januarv 18, 2000
construction at this time. The Transit Center design and
construction will be accomplished in phases. The first phase
of construction includes the platforms, the station buildings,
and a paved parking lot on the west side of the railroad
tracks. Under design now is a parking structure to be
located on the east side of the railroad tracks and will
accommodate approximately 500 cars. As design of the
parking structure began, it was realized that in order to fit the
structure on the site, it would need to be taller than the City's
current zoning code allows. The proposed amendments to
the zoning code address dimensional reequirements and
allow additional' flexibility in the code for parking garages.
The amendments will allow an increase in parking garage
height from forty-five feet to sixty feet with an addillional five
feet for mechanical equipment. The proposed amendments
also reduce the parking space dimensions and aisle widths.
The remaining proposed amendments relate to the
aesthetics of the structure and include exterior treatments,
window openings, lighting, landscaping and pedestrian
accessibility.
Councilmember Lewis inquired how the forty-five foot height
limitation originated. .Ms. Sanders stated the height
limitation is most likely inherited and in keeping with the
existing small town appearance. Planning Director Krauss
added that the height limitation may have been in response
to the City's fire fighting apparatus. Mr. Krauss expects the
new Downtown Plan will recommend significant changes to
the allowable building height.
Councilmember Wagner questioned whether the ihospital's
parking garage would conform to proposed Parking Garage
Development Standards under Section 18.28.060(D)(2).
Ms. Sanders responded in the negative noting the proposed
standard states in part that the upper floors should avoid
long, continuous horizontal openings. The intent of the
standard is to create openings which resemble windows and
give the structure a vertical appearance.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meetini3 Minutes January 18, 2000
Virginia Haugen, 2503 R Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Haugen questioned whether the C-2 zone excludes
automotive repair businesses. Assistant Planning Director
Rued responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
Councilmember Poe expressed objection to the City
dictating professional design and to the proposed
development standards, especially those contained in
Section 18.28.060(D)(2).
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Poe commented regarding Ms. IHaugen's
comments and other nonconforming uses in the downtown
area.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to instruct the City Attorney to pre:pare an
ordinance making revisions to Title 18, Land Use and
Zoning Code of the Auburn City Code, and to create
development standards for any parking garages constructed
in the C-2, Central Business zone.
MOTION CARRIED. 6-1. Councilmember Poe votE:d no.
3. Application No. ZOA0002-99 - Lea Hill Zoning Districts
03.4.2.1.2 ZOA0002-99, 03.1 ANX0003-98
City Council to consider amendments to Title 18, Zoning
Code, which amendments include the creation of a new
Chapter 18.45 entitled "Lea Hill (LH) District" that will
establish the zoning districts for the potential annexation
area of Lea Hill, and amendments to Chapters 18.06, 18.48,
18.50, and 18.56 needed to reflect the newly created Lea
Hill (LH) District; and consideration of amendments to the
Comprehensive Zoning Map to include an area-wide change
to the Zoning Map to apply newly created Lea Hill (LH)
Districts to the area generally known as the "Southwest Lea
Hill annexation area."
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 18, 2000
Assistant Planning Director Lynn Rued presented the staff
report on the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code
and Zoning Map to provide for a new zoning classification
for the Lea Hill area.
The premise used for preparing the zoning for the Lea Hill
· area was to .recognize existing county zoning and existing
City of Auburn zoning. For those properties already platted
or have subdivisions approved, standards. that closely
resemble King County standards would apply. The intent is
to create the least amount of nonconforming uses in the Lea
Hill area. For vacant undeveloped property, the existing City
of Auburn standards would apply.
Mr. Rued also addressed the maintenance of farm animals
in the Lea Hill area. In the LHR1 and LHR2 zones, the City
is proposing to allow more animals than King County
currently allows. In the County R6 zones, the County does
not allow the larger farm animals (homes and cows), but the
City will allow them for the larger lots. In the LHIRS zone,
which is the City's 35,000 square foot lots, the City will allow
whatever the County allowed under their R1 zone at the time
of annexation.
Mr. Rued discussed the lot averaging provisions and the
differences between the County's and City's calculations for
the number of lots than can be built in a subdivision. King
County calculates on a density basis and allows smaller lot
sizes than the City. The City works on a minimurn lot size
basis. Under the City's proposed zoning, less lots would be
developed than under current County zoning. The Planning
Commission recommended lot averaging only for the LHRS
zone with 35,000 square foot lots. Lot averaging m~y be
allowed for the LHRS zone under the proposed zoning if the
property has a significant amount of non-buildable land due
to steep slopes or wetlands. Lot averaging is allowed if: (a)
at least 30 percent of the subdivision contains non-.buildable
area (steep slopes and wetlands); (b) the number of
allowable lots is determined by multiplying the tota~l number
of acres by one (1); (c) at least 50 percent of the lots shall
be 35,000 square feet or larger; (d) the remaining lot sizes
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meeting3 Minutes January 18, 2000
cannot be any smaller than 17,500 square feet; (e) each lot
must have a designated building area; and (f) a native
growth protection easement must protect the non--buildable
areas.
Mr. Rued displayed the proposed Lea Hill District zoning
map. He noted that the County's R6 zoning in similar to the
City's R2 zone and is designated as LHR2 on the map. The
County's R4 zone is similar to the City's Rll and is
designated on the map as LHR1. The County does not
have a separate zoning classification for parks and are
designated as LHP1 (public). The County's R24 and R18
are multi-family zones and are similar to the City's R4 zone
and are designated as LHR4 on the map.
Councilmember Wagner questioned the amount of the
minimum lot size under lot averaging. Mr. Rued explained
that for an acre lot, the proposed 17,500 minimum lot size is
on the high end of the scale.
Councilmember Wagner questioned the effectiveness of a
native growth protection easement. Mr. Rued stated that
native growth protection easements are recorded as part of
a final plat. Similar easements have been recorded in
Lakeland, West Beverly Hills, and Vistara subdivisions.
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Mr.
Rued explained that at the time of the final plat, the City
determines the uses for the non-buildable areas.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Landon Gibson, 11233 SE 313th Place, Auburn, WA
Mr. Gibson spoke in favor of the proposed zoning. He
commented that he has had good relations with City staff
and personnel, and he looks forward to annexing to the City.
Doug Trussler, 31611 108th SE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Trussler questioned the possible uses for an area of his
property which lies below steep slopes. Mr. Rued E:xplained
that if the property is unencumbered, the property can be
calculated as part of the buildable area. Language can be
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes January 18, 2000
included in the recorded easement describing the allowed
uses for the property. Mr. Rued suggestecl adding
additional language to Section 18.45.090(F) as follows:
"This may include provisions for limited rernoval of
vegetation and passive use of the area encumbered by the
easement."
Sharon Britten, 31250 Lea Hill Road SE, Auburn, WA
In response to questions from Ms. Britten, Mr. Rued
explained lot averaging regulations and commented on tree
removal restrictions. Mr. Rued also explained that sanitary
sewer is not available to her property at this time, and septic
is allowed subject to King County approval.
Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Haugen commented on tree removal and steep slope
protection.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to approve the amendments to Title 18, Zoning, of
the Auburn City Code, that include amendments to the text
and the Comprehensive Zoning Map; and instruct the City
Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance with the
following amendments recommended by staff:
Section 18.45.040(A), Column 2 (Lot Area) of the
Chart should read 8,000 for the LHRS zone (not
35,000).
Section 18.45.040(A), add another sentence under
the chart to read: "*Fences up to six feet in height
may locate in any setback."
Section 18.45.090(F) shall read: "A natiw~ growth
protection easement or similar device may include
provisions for limited removal of vegetation and
Page 10
City of Auburn Council Meeting3 Minutes January 18, 2000
passive use of the area encumbered by the
easement."
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
B. Audience Participation
Virginia Haugen, 2503 "R" Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Haugen described recent experiences .of vandalism to her
mailbox. She presented a small drawing of the location of her
mailbox in relation to the sidewalk. Her mailbox is affixed to a steel
post surrounded by the sidewalk that was constructed as part of a
local improvement district. Ms. Haugen expressed concern that
since her mailbox is located on the sidewalk rather than curbside,
her mailbox is subject to more vandalism. She has been advised
by the Postal Service that delivery to her home is not available
because her house is too far from the street. She requested the
City assist her in convincing the Postal Service to deliver her mail
to her home rather than to the mailbox, or increase police patrols in
her neighborhood.

No correspondence was received for City Council review.
