City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes March 6, 2000
Associate Planner Bea Sanders presented the staff report on
Application Number WSC0026-99. The applicant has applied for
water and sewer certificates to serve a senior citizen manufactured
home park consisting of 34 single-family homes at the intersection
of SE 304th Street and 112th Avenue SE. The property is currently
zoned under King County zoning R-4, which allows four dwelling
units per acre. Sewer and water lines are available adjacent to the
site. The applicant will need to increase the width of 112th Avenue
SE to meet residential collector arterial standards. Staff
recommends approval of the water and sewer availability
certificates in that the application is consistent with 'the City's "~
criteria. Ms. Sanders advised that the Planning and Community
Development Committee conducted a public hearing on the
application at their last regular meeting and subsequently
recommended approval of the certificates. Ms. Sanders also
advised that the applicant recently decided to change the
development's primary access from 112th to 304th.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to approve the Development Agreement, which will
enable the issuance of water and sewer availability certificates to
the applicant.
Councilmember Poe suggested that the development's primary
access would be preferable on 112th rather than 304th. Associate
Planner Sanders commented that the applicant changed the
primary access to 304th because of sight issues with the 112th
Avenue access. Planning Director Krauss advised that City
Council and staff concerns with the development that go beyond
the preannexation process will be forwarded to King County for
inclusion in their SEPA review.
Councilmember Wagner expressed concern with visibility while
exiting the development if the primary access is changed to 304th.
He requested that comments forwarded to King County include his
concern that under the current site plan, visibility may be limited
when exiting onto 304th Street.
Councilmember Borden reminded staff that the Planning and
Community Development Committee requested staff to forward the
neighbors' concerns to King County.
