II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. Application Number V-03-99
03.9 v-03-99
City Council to conduct a public hearing on a petition filed by
property owners (Valley Pontiac Buick GMC) for vacation of
a portion of street right-of-way abutting Auburn Way North
and 30th Street NE.
City Engineer Dennis Dowdy presented the staff report.
Valley Pontiac has petitioned the vacation of a triangular
strip of right-of-way which measurers approximately thirty
feet wide by 180 feet in length located at the northeast
corner of the intersection of 30th Street NE and Auburn Way
North.
City Engineer Dowdy reported that the staff evaluation and
recommendation are not completed. Therefore, there is no
recommendation for action regarding the request of Valley
Pontiac.
City Engineer Dowdy presented a brief history of the site.
Prior to construction of SR 167, this portion of Auburn Way
North served as the valley highway. There was a severe
bend in the roadway in the vicinity of the' proposed vacation.
The State acquired the right-of-way to the west and
realigned the roadway during the 1960's. When SR 167
was completed (in the late 1970's), the valley highway was
turned over to the City along with the excess right-of-way.
The landscaped area of right-of-way on the northeast corner
of Auburn Way North and 30th Street NE was maintained by
HITCO, the company that had been located adjacent.
Since HITCO moved several years ago, the parcel has
deteriorated. Across the street, on the southeast corner of
the intersection, is the Slaughter monument, which is
maintained by the Parks Department.
City Engineer Dowdy recommended that the Council
conduct the hearing this evening. Since the staff evaluation
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meetin.Q Minutes October 16, 2000
is not complete, staff would need to determine the future
needs of the City and any private utility which may be
currently using the right-of-way. Staff would expect to work
with the Developer to obtain the data necessary for
completion of the staff study.
City Engineer Dowdy presented overhead slides of the
intersection to familiarize the Council with the area.
City Engineer Dowdy stated that staff has not been able to
determine whether there are old easements that came with
the right-of-way and if there are any private utilities within the
right-of-way.
In response to a question from Councilmember Lewis, Public
Works Director Engler explained that a decision to vacate
right-of-way on the northeast corner of the intersection and a
subsequent intersection requirement may affect the area to
the south of the intersection.
Councilmember Lewis also noted that the petition for
vacation was signed on June 22, 2000 and questioned the
delay in receiving a staff recommendation. City Engineer
Dowdy reported that staff review is ongoing and therefor not
complete.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing.
Alan Poe, Poe Engineering, 1314 8th Street NE, Suite 102,
Auburn, WA
Mr. Poe referred to a full-size set of prints consisting of three
sheets. The third sheet of the prints included an overview of
the area of Auburn Way North with the current rights-of-way.
Sheet B2 consists of the area immediately around the
subject property and illustrates the constructed centerline.
Mr. Poe proposed that the City retain an easement for any
underground utilities or appurtenances that may currently
exist or be needed in the future. Sheet B1 illustrates the
current preliminary site plan to develop the property. The
vacated right-of-way would be incorporated in the
development plans. The area requested for vacation is
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meetin.q Minutes October 16, 2000
irregularly shaped, ranging from five feet wide at the north to
approximately twenty-four feet at the south end.
Ron Claudon, Valley Pontiac GMC, 30441 108th Avenue
SE, Auburn, WA
Mr. Claudon, representing the petitioner, Valley Pontiac
GMC, spoke on behalf of the vacation. He presented
several photos of the site using overhead slides. He
explained the vacation is needed to develop the site and
provide consistency with Auburn Way.
There was discussion regarding the existing vegetation.
Alan Poe advised that all of the trees at the site are
identified on print sheet B1 as either trees to remain or trees
to be removed.
In response to a question from Councilmembers Wagner
and Borden, Mr. Poe advised that Valley Pontiac proposes
giving an easement to the City over the entire vacated area.
The vacated area will be paved and landscaped and used
for automotive display only. The project is in the C-3 zone
which requires five feet of street landscaping.
Assistant City Attorney Ausman recommended that, if
Council does not intend to take action on the petition this
evening, the Council continue the hearing to a date certain.
Ms. Ausman also requested that the City obtain a
supplement to the petition for vacation to comply with City
ordinance. The petitioner needs to supply a certification
from the corporate secretary that the person who signed the
petition is authorized to sign the petition on behalf of Valley
Pontiac Buick GMC Inc.
City Engineer Dowdy explained the reason for a possible
thirty to forty day delay in submitting a staff
recommendation. Staff is not prepared to provide
information regarding the future traffic demands for the
intersection and the likely expansion of the intersection
required by the future development along the "1" Street
corridor. The City does not have the tools to complete a
response regarding the future needs or demands on the
intersection. Mr. Dowdy also indicated there are two utilities
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meetin_~ Minutes October 16, 2000
that have not yet responded regarding the proposed
vacation.
Councilmember Wagner stated that the response from the
utilities is moot since the applicant has offered to provide an
easement for the entire parcel, and the ability to determine
the future traffic demands on the intersection will not likely
be determined in the next forty days. Councilmember
Wagner suggested closing the public hearing and proceed
to action on the petition for vacation.
Councilmember Lewis agreed with the comments made by
Councilmember Wagner.
Councilmember Borden questioned the potential traffic
improvements for the intersection. City Engineer Dowdy
stated it may be desirable to expand the intersection to
provide an additional turn lane on 30th Street NE.
Councilmember Singer noted that 30th Street NE is not in the
Six Year Street Improvement Program.
Councilmember Wagner moved and Councilmember Lewis
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED. 6-0. Councilmember Poe abstained.
Councilmember Wagner moved and Councilmember Lewis
seconded to approve Application No. V-03-99 with the
modification to include the entire parcel as a utility easement
for the City and to require a supplement of the record to
include certification from Valley Pontiac corporate secretary.
MOTION CARRIED. 6-0. Councilmember Poe abstained.

B. Closed Record Hearings
This is a closed record hearing where any public testimony must be
strictly limited to the issues involving the proposal and must also be
limited to comments "on the record". No new or additional
evidence may be allowed.
1. Application Number PLT00-0002
O3:5 PLT00-0002
City Council to conduct a closed record hearing on the
request of Swanson Homes for preliminary plat approval of a
20-lot single family subdivision located on the west side of
the 3800 block of Academy Drive.
Mayor Booth opened the closed record hearing.
Councilmember Wagner noted an Academy booster pump
upgrade is slated for the years 2007-2010 for $1.4 million.
He questioned whether the subdivision will affect the timing
need for the booster pump upgrade. Public Works Director
Engler responded that the Comprehensive Water Plan
capital improvement program anticipates that all properties
will develop to their fullest potential, and the development in
question will not affect the timing of the booster pump
project.
Councilmember Wagner recalled that a sanitary sewer
renovation is scheduled for the area. He questioned
whether the project will coincide with the plat development.
Sanitary Sewer Engineer Jeff Roscoe expressed hope that
construction could take place simultaneously. If possible,
the City will utilize savings in road restoration by
coordinating the projects.
Councilmember Wagner questioned whether the
development will cause any of the manholes to overflow.
Sewer Engineer Roscoe reported that surcharge conditions
have occurred in the past. However, no surcharge has
occurred since the repai[ of an existing line to eliminate
storm infiltration to the sewer line. Mr. Roscoe indicated no
surcharge condition is anticipated as a result of the
proposed development.
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes October t6, 2000
Councilmember Wagner questioned the type of storm
detention facility proposed for the development. Storm
Utility Engineer Tim Carlaw indicated either a wet
pond/detention combination or a bioswale with a detention
facility is proposed for the development. There is a twenty-
four inch storm line that abuts the south property line of the
Swanson project which the development can access.
Councilmember Poe questioned the ultimate destination for
the storm water. Mr. Carlaw confirmed the storm drain
empties to the south of Auburn Way South.
Marshall Bain, 5307 33rd Street SE, Auburn, WA
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Mr.
Bain stated that the Seventh Day Adventist Academy
constructed a sixteen inch storm drain that drained to the
Green River, not the White River.
Councilmember Poe questioned the capacity of the storm'
line along the south property line of the proposed
development. Storm Utility Engineer Carlaw reported that
the line was reviewed during the Auburn Way South storm
improvement and upgrade. The line is not in the
comprehensive plan to receive additional work. Mr. Carlaw
recalled that the storm line was extended down Auburn Way
South in 1993. Staff studied the capacities and integrity of
the system for the area in question. The system was
determined to be sound.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to approve the preliminary plat based on the
Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions and

C. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue. For clarification of these minutes,
audience participation occurred immediately following Council
Committee reports.
George Hutchison, 11224 SE 320th Street, Auburn, WA
Mr. Hutchison advised that he lives in the Lea Hill area, which was
annexed to the city earlier this year, and he is a licensed amateur
radio operator. Mr. Hutchison explained that he wants to install a
radio tower on his property in excess of the thirty-foot limitation
imposed by the City. In a discussion with a City planner, he
learned that he would need a variance in order to construct such a
radio tower. He also met with Mayor Booth and Assistant Planning
Director Lynn Rued recently and was again advised that he would
need to pursue a variance for the antenna tower. Mr. Hutchison
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meetin,~ Minutes October 16, 2000
questioned the need for a variance. He contends that the City's
zoning ordinance may not be in compliance with state law.
Assistant City Attorney Ausman advised that materials from Mr.
Hutchison have been received in the City Attorney's office for
review. She also cautioned that Mr. Hutchison's request may come
before the Council in the future in a quasi-judicial forum.
Mr. Hutchison quoted from Federal Communications Commission
rule 97.15, which pertains to amateur radio operators. He also
referred to a document known as PRB 1, a limited preemption of
local zoning laws with regard to radio amateurs, and questioned
whether a variance for his radio antenna is required under the
preemption law.
Assistant City Attorney Ausman advised that the City cannot
respond to Mr. Hutchison's questions until a review of the law is
completed. She anticipates completing the review next week.
D. Correspondence
No correspondence was received for City Council review.

V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS

VI. NEW BUSINESS
A. Airport Hangar Land Lease Agreement
04.4.9.1.3, A3.17
City Council to consider Airport Hangar Land Lease Agreements
for the construction of private hangars at Auburn Municipal Airport.
Planning Director Krauss explained that staff have been in the
process of developing a lease for the construction of private
hangars at the Auburn Municipal Airport. He reported that the City
Attorney has reviewed the lease. Mr. Krauss noted the following
corrections to the lease agreement contained in the Council
agenda packet:
Section .3. Purpose: Add a sentence at the end of the paragraph to
read: "Hangar construction plans must be approved by the City
and shall be similar in design and quality to those constructed by
the City in the year 2000.
Section 6. Procedure to Determine Adjusted Rent - Annual,
paragaph b, to have the bulleted line read: "(Percentage increase
in Price Index) x (Rent being adjusted) + (Current Rent) = (Adjusted
Rent)
Section 7. Procedure to Determine Adjusted Rent - Fair Market
Value, first paragraph, fifth line, change "12 months" to "24
months".
Section 8. Security for Rent, to read: "To secure the rent .
hereunder, Lessee agrees to furnish to Lessor an amount equal to
two month's rent to be retained for the duration of the lease.
Councilmember Singer moved and Councilmember Borden
seconded to enter into lease agreements for the construction of
Page 13
City of Auburn Council Meetina Minutes October 16, 2000
private hangars at Auburn Municipal Airport with the corrections
noted.
Councilmember Singer pointed out that under Section 4, the last
sentence seems to contradict the first sentence. Mr. Krauss stated
that obligation to pay rent starts with the issuance of the building
permit. A clarification paragraph was added, which is the last
paragraph of Section 4, which repeats that rent payments begin
with the issuance of a building permit. The provision also requires
that the building permit must be applied for within ninety days from
the execution of the lease; if not, rents are then payable on the
ninety-first day. The last sentence was added to give the lessee
more time if the permit was applied for within the ninety days.
Councilmember Poe suggested deleting the last sentence of
Section 4. Councilmember Singer concurred.
Councilmember Poe expressed concern with the provisions of
Section 7, Procedure to Determine Adjusted Rent - Fair Market
Value. He objected to the appraisal process contained in the
lease, which utilizes an arbitrator if negotiations between the City
and the lessee are not successful. He also pointed out that the
recent appraisal of the property does not reflect the value of the
proposed lease property. The appraisal is on the gross area while
the City is proposing the lease of a portion of the appraised area.
He suggested further changes to the lease agreement before
approval.
Councilmember Singer expressed a desire to return the agreement
to the Municipal Services Committee for further review and
recommend hiring specialized outside counsel to review the lease
agreement.
Councilmember Borden indicated her readiness to vote on the
motion. Councilmember Wagner concurred with Councilmember
Borden and spoke in favor of the lease agreement as corrected by
Director Krauss and Committee Chair Singer.
Councilmember Poe noted that Section 6 contains the formula for
the rent increases based on the Consumer Price Index, but does
not a maximum increase amount.
Page 14
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes October 16, 2000
Councilmember Lewis indicated he would not vote for a lease
agreement which contains a rent arbitration provision for the
Lessee.
Planning Director Krauss advised that the City has similar
provisions in the three existing leases at the airport. To date, a
Lessee has not exercised the arbitration provision.
MOTION CARRIED. 4-3 Councilmembers Lewis, Poe, and Singer
voted no.
B. Cobble Creek Annexation
03.1, ANX00-0004
City Council to consider the annexation petition for the Cobble
Creek annexation area and call for a public hearing for November
6, 2000 to consider the annexation and the proposed annexation
area's zoning.
Planning Director Krauss presented a brief staff report. The
annexation consists of ninety-one acres with a population of
approximately 250. The City is already responsible for providing
utility services to the area. Fire service would be provided through
a contract with the fire district. The City would provide police
service. Staff recommends the Council accept the petition and call
for a public hearing on the annexation and the zoning.
Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember
Singer to accept the annexation petition for the Cobble Creek
annexation area and call for a public hearing to be held November
6, 2000 to consider the annexation and the proposed annexation
area's zoning.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.

Assistant City Attorney Ausman read the title of Ordinance
No. 5441 and noted a correction in Exhibit A of the
Ordinance. In the paragraph identified as "Condition No. 1 ",
the second to last line, the words "retaining way" should
read "retaining wall".
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 5441 as
corrected.
Councilmember Wagner questioned the need to change
Condition No. 1. Assistant Planning Director Rued
explained that the amendment is necessary to provide
clarification.
Councilmember Wagner moved to delete the last sentence
in Condition No. 1 contained in Exhibit A. Councilmember
Lewis seconded.
Councilmember Wagner explained that he believes the
proposed amendment to Condition No. 1 opens the door for
the developer to request substandard development in order
to develop the site, and it leaves a lot of judgment to the City
Engineer as to what may be reasonable for the site.
Assistant Planning Director Rued advised that the attorney
representing Homes by Judi initiated the amendment to
Condition No. 1. The purpose of the amendment is to allow
the City Engineer to consider the building, utility, retaining
wall, and street construction, in addition to the required
geotechnical report, for the area to allow reasonable
development of the site.
