II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1. 2001 Budget
F3.15
The 2001 Preliminary Budget for the fiscal year January 1,
2001 through December 31, 2001 has been placed on file
with the City Clerk. The public is encouraged to provide
written or verbal testimony on any provision of the proposed
2001 Budget. The City Council will consider revenue
sources and possible increases in property tax revenues.
Using overhead slides, Assistant Finance Director Shelley
Coleman presented the staff report for the 2001 Budget,
including revenue sources and possible increases in
property tax revenues. Total City revenues for 2001 are
estimated at $115,365,000. The largest source of revenue
is intergovernmental revenue which includes grant funds,
notably funding for the 277th Street Project.
Intergovernmental revenue is estimated at $35,036.000.
Other major sources of City revenue come from taxes and
charges for services, such as utility services. Tax revenue is
estimated at $30,772,000. Revenue from charges for
services is estimated at $29,847,000. Fines and forfeitures
are estimated at $566,000. Miscellaneous revenues, which
include interest revenue and interfund rentals, are estimated
at approximately $4 million. Other sources of revenue
include loans and bonds and interfund transfers.
Estimated General Fund Revenue for 2001 includes:
property taxes of $10.6 million, sales tax of $12.5 million,
utility tax of $5.2 million, other taxes of $844,000, licenses
and permits of $1.4 million, intergovernmental revenue of
$1.5 million, charges for services of $1.3 million and
miscellaneous revenue of $1.5 million.
The 2001 property tax revenue is calculated at the levy rate
of $2.86 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. Last
year's levy rate was $3.01 per thousand dollars. The levy
rate is based on an estimated increase of assessed
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes November 6, 2000
valuation of seventeen percent. In accordance with
Referendum 47, the levy is calculated at 102.61 percent, the
rate of the implicit price deflator. The increase over the year
2000 includes $406,500 from new construction, $377,000
from annexations, and $265,700 from the existing tax base.
Initiative 722, if passed on November 7, 2000, will impact
the property tax levy. I 722 rolls back real and personal
property values to 1999 levels and limits increases to the
lessor of inflation or two percent. Additionally, it limits new
construction values to the 1999 value increased by the
lessor of inflation or two percent. I 722 also limits increases
on values to the lessor of inflation or two percent. If I 722
passes, the 2001 levy would be adjusted to comply. The
2001 levy base would be rolled back to the 2000 level. The
City would not be able to include any new construction,
annexations or refund levies from last year. The net loss to
the City would be approximately $660,000 and does not
include revaluations for new construction.
Ms. Coleman presented an analysis of sales tax collections
over the past five years. She noted that the 2001 estimate
for sales tax collection is less than the amount expected for
collection in 2000. She believes that the increases in the
interest rate over the past several months will slow sales.
Ms. Coleman presented comparisons between 2000
budgeted revenues and 2001 projected revenues.
Ms. Coleman predicted that economic growth will slow, King
County's unemployment rate will remain low, and the overall
economic environment will remain stable. If Initiative 722
passes, future property tax levies will be limited.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing on the proposed
2001 Budget. No one in the audience requested to speak
regarding the budget.
Councilmember Barber moved and Councilmember Lewis
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.

2. Application No. ANX00-0004
03.1 ANX00-0004
City Council to consider an annexation petition submitted by
-property owners to annex approximately 91 acres consisting
of the Cobble Creek Subdivision Phase I and properties
southward, and generally bounded by the Green River on
the west.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearings on Application
Numbers ANX00-0004 and ZOA00-0010 simultaneously.
Associate Planner Shirley Aird presented the staff report on
the petition to annex and the proposed zoning amendment
for the Cobble Creek area. She presented an overhead
slide depicting the 91-acre area proposed for annexation.
The area is adjacent to the city limits in the area of the
Auburn Golf Course and another portion of the Cobble
Creek subdivision previously annexed.
On June 19, 2000, the City Council reviewed the initial
request for annexation. The Council modified the
boundaries of the proposed annexation area to remove the
Hazelwood Heights Water District and add other properties
to the south. The City Council then authorized the
preparation and circulation of the sixty-percent petition.
Sufficiency of the sixty-percent petition was certified by the
County Assessor's Office on October 10, 2000.
Ms. Aird explained that in order to accommodate the
annexation of the Cobble Creek/Holt annexation area, the
area must be rezoned prior to passage of an annexation
ordinance. The City Council will consider amendments to
the zoning map that would designate areas designated by
King County as "RI" to the City's zoning designation of
LHRS. Areas designated by King County as "R4" would be
designated LHR1 under the City's Zoning Code. Ms. Aird
explained that zoning designations were applied that would
most closely match the underlying county zoning. She
noted major differences between County and City zoning.
County zoning includes a broader definition of allowed uses
Page 5
Citv of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes November 6, 2000
and calculates density based on gross area. A map of the
proposed zoning was displayed on an overhead slide.
Councilmember Poe inquired about the Kofal property
located in the nodheast corner of the proposed annexation
area. He questioned the effect of City zoning on the Kofal
properbj, and asked for a comparison of development under
King County zoning to development under the City's
proposed zoning. Ms. Aird explained that the County uses
base density. The City of Auburn bases density on minimum
lot size and excludes unbuildable land from the calculation.
The Kofal property is just less than ten acres in size and is
too small to fall under the City's PUD ordinance.
Planning Director Krauss added that King County calculates
density on gross acreage including unbuildable lands.
Therefor, density under King County zoning is more than
under City zoning. In response to a question from
Councilmember Poe, Mr. Krauss explained that the property
is not large enough for a PUD. Also, the property is located
between two single family neighborhoods.
Jack Lynch, 1001 NE Boat Street, Seattle, WA
Mr. Lynch identified himself as a representative for Allen
Kofal, property owner within the proposed annexation area.
Mr. Lynch presented a handout containing his comments.
Mr. Lynch reported that in 1993 King County zoned Mr.
Koffel's property SR9600-P. The ."P" suffix condition limits
development to townhouses only based on development
constraints. Approximately half the Kofal property is
constrained due to steep slopes. In 1995 the County
changed all zoning designations in the county. The Kofal
property zoning designation was changed to R-4-P, retaining
the townhouse condition to allow 39 units.
In June of this year, Mr. Kofal received correspondence from
the City regarding the annexation petition. Mr. Lynch
reported the correspondence from the City indicated a
commitment to retain the intent of current County zoning,
upon annexation the City would apply zoning most closely
matching County zoning, and multi-family development
would be allowed in areas where currently permitted, Mr.
Page 6
City of Auburn Council Meetin_Q Minutes November 6, 2000
Kofal signed the petition based on the content of the June
correspondence from the City. In August, Mr. Kofal received
notice of a scheduled Planning Commission hearing on
zoning for the annexation area which reiterated the intent of
the City but also stated that no new areas would be
designated for multi-family.
Mr. Lynch stated that Mr. Kofal submitted correspondence to
the Planning Commission expressing concern with the
proposed LHR1 zoning as it is not a close match to the
current County zoning for his property. However, Mr. Kofal
submitted his letter too late to be considered by the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Lynch pointed out that City Zoning Code Section
18.45.010 provides LH zoning districts will be similar if not
the same as other zoning districts in the city. Some
variations are needed to recognize King County zoning and
the development permitted using the County zoning.
Section 18.45,050 provides that the City will recognize the
terms of any contract rezone or similar contractual obligation
that may have been approved prior to the effective date of
the annexation. Mr. Kofal's position is that the conditional
zoning that the County placed on his property was similar to
a contractual obligation.
Mr. Lynch stated Mr. Kofal will lose approximately two-thirds
of his development rights under the City's LHR1 zoning
designation.
Mr. Lynch contended that the City's references to the Lea
Hill Task Force Report are inaccurate.
Mr. Lynch requested that further consideration be given to
the proposed zoning for Mr. Kofal's property. He requested
that the City apply LHR4 zoning designation to the Kofal
property. The LHR4 zoning would allow townhouses, but
subject to a contractual rezone or concomitant agreement
that would limit development to only townhouses and limit
the amount of development to that allowed in an R4 zone.
Allen Kofal, 14740 North Windshade Drive, Tucson AZ
Page 7
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes November 6, 2000
Mr. Kofal advised that the City's proposed zoning of his
property would result in a $500,000 to $600,000 loss in
development for his property. Mr. Kofal explained that he
purchased his property in 1979, and the property represents
his and his wife's retirement nest egg. He noted that the
Hazelwood Heights property was deleted from the
annexation area, and if he had known the impact of the
proposed zoning on his property, he would have requested
his property removed from the annexation petition as well.
Mike Monroe, Johns Monroe and Mitsunaga, 1500 114t~
Avenue SE, Bellevue, WA'
Mr. Monroe identified himself as an attorney with the firm of
Johns Monroe Mitsunaga representing Mr. Kofal. Mr.
Monroe requested that the City Council either designate Mr.
Kofal's property with zoning that is comparable to the type of
zoning and development Mr. Kofal could have had under
King County zoning or remove Mr. Kofal's property from the
proposed annexation area. Mr. Monroe contended that the
City's proposed zoning results in a severe loss of value for
Mr. Kofal's property. If the property is annexed and the
property zoned as LHR1, twenty-six of thirty-nine units will
be lost. The result is a $500,000 to $700,000 decrease in
the market value of the property. Mr. Monroe cited a 1975
court case, Metropolitan Park District versus State. He
quoted a portion of the Supreme Court's decision regarding
Washington State's conduct, "The conduct of state should
always be scrupulously just when dealing with its citizens,
and where a public official acting within his authority and
with knowledge of the pertinent facts has made a
commitment and according to whom it was made has acted
to his detriment and in reliance on that commitment, the
official should not be permitted to revoke that commitment.
Therefore, it is evident that the more forthrightness is
demanded from the State than of the average citizen." Mr.
Monroe stated that when Mr. Kofal first received written
communications from the City, he relied on that. He urged
the Council to apply LHR4 zoning designation to the Kofal
property to allow townhouses on his property at the level
approved by the County.
Page 8
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes November 6, 2000
Councilmember Wagner questioned whether Mr. Kofal
would be able to develop his property under the City's LHR4
designation to the extent allowed by King County. Planning
Director Krauss confirmed that the City's density is
computed on net area while King County calculates density
on gross area. Therefor, even under LHR4 fewer units
would be allowed than under the current County zoning
designation.
Councilmember Borden noted that the LHR4 zone also
allows hospitals and group residence facilities and other
uses not allowed under R1. She questioned whether a
contract rezone could be implemented to limit development
to townhomes. Planning Director Krauss advised there is no
vested contract for Mr. Kofal's property. King County
allowed for special understandings about what would
happen on Mr. Kofal's property, but no submittal was ever
made.
Councilmember Poe expressed concern with what Mr. Kofal
can do with his property today compared to what he could
do with the same property after it is annexed to the city. In
response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Associate
Planner Aird and Mr. Kofal identified the sensitive areas on
the property. Mr. Kofal stated that approximately two-thirds
of the property is unbuildable.
Councilmember Brothers questioned the implications of
deleting Mr. Kofal's property from the annexation. Planning
Director Krauss stated Mr. Kofal could develop thirty-nine
townhomes which would probably be accessed only through
the city of Auburn. Mr. Kofal rebutted that there is access to
his property via 108th SE.
Largo Wales, 10339 SE 304th Place, Auburn, WA
Mr. Wales explained that she and Mr. Bob Holt began the
annexation campaign following a Cobble Creek membership
meeting among seventy-four single-family home residents.
She expressed eagerness to be a part of the city and
receive city police and fire services. She expressed concern
with the potential development of the Kofal property with
townhomes. She requested the Council approve the
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes November 6, 2000
annexation and prevent construction of multi-family units on
the Kofal property.
Bob Holt, 10417 SE 302nd, Auburn, WA
Mr. Holt advised that his home is located on the main street
accessing the Cobble Creek Subdivision. He expressed
concern with the possible traffic impact from possible multi-
unit development on the Kofal property.
Councilmember Poe inquired whether the streets within the
Cobble Creek Subdivision are private streets. Mr. Holt and
Ms. Wales indicated the streets are no longer private streets.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
Councilmember Poe stated he sympathizes with adjacent
property owners but does not feel it is fair to Mr. Kofal to
change the zoning. He indicated he would probably vote
against the annexation.
Councilmember Wagner expressed concern whether private
streets exist in Cobble Creek.
MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Lewis suggested tabling a decision on the
annexation and zoning amendment.
Planning Director Krauss offered to clarify any questions
with regard to the Cobble Creek Subdivision streets, the
legal standing of Mr. Kofal's property, and access to Mr.
Kofal's property.
Councilmember Borden noted that in the past the City has
not included properties in annexations where there was
strong opposition from the property owner. However, the
City has also told the property owners that as the City
proceeds with annexations on Lea Hill, their property will be
annexed. She indicated she is reluctant to include Mr.
Page10
City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes November 6, 2000
Kofal's property in the annexation, She agreed to tabling the
decision.
Councilmember Wagner agreed with tabling the decision.
He spoke in favor of excluding Mr. Kofal's property from the
annexation or the ability to offer Mr. Kofal similar zoning and
development to that offered under King County zoning.
Councilmember Lewis moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to table Application Nos. ANX00-0004 and
ZOA00-0010,
Councilmember Poe requested staff also look at providing
buffering from townhouse development and single family
homes. He also requested staff research possible access
for the Kofal property and verify the status of the Cobble
Creek Subdivision streets.
Councilmember Singer noted that the City has more control
over the development of the Kofal property if it is within the
city rather than if it remains in the county.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
3. Application No. ZOA00-0010
03.4.2.2
City Council to consider an amendment to the
Comprehensive Zoning Map of the City of Auburn to
accommodate the annexation of a portion of the Lea Hill
area known as the Cobble Creek/Holt Annexation. The
amendment includes a change to the Zoning Map to apply
Lea Hill (LH) Districts to the area generally known as the
"Cobble Creek/Holt Annexation" area.
The hearing for Application No. ZOA00-0010 was held
simultaneously with the hearing for Application No. ANX00-
0004 under Item II,A.2 of these minutes,

4. Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
03.4.3
This public hearing is an opportunity for public input prior to
consideration of the Year 2000 amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Booth explained that the hearing for each proposed
Comprehensive Plan amendment would be opened
separately, testimony taken, the hearing closed for each
separate amendment, and action taken on each individual
proposed amendment.
Comprehensive Plan Map (CPM) Amendments:
CPM #1 Mara Heiman, et al. Map amendment request from
Single Family Residential to Light Industrial for multiple
properties located in the South 287th Street/West Valley Hwy
area. These properties lie outside the existing city limits but are
within Auburn's Potential Annexation Area (PAA).
Principal Planner David Osaki explained that this evening the
Council will consider nine map amendments that were initiated
by private individuals and three map amendments initiated by
the City. Mr. Osaki noted that the applicant for Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment No. 8 has withdrawn his request.
Principal Planner David Osaki presented the staff report for
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment No. 1. The map
amendment was submitted by Mara Heiman on behalf of
several property owners to change the map designation from
Single Family Residential to Light Industrial. The properties are
in an area along West Valley Highway and 287th Street. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the request.
Staff recommends that if the Council chooses to support the
applicant's request, the Light Industrial designation be limited to
those properties or portions of properties located at the base of
the hillside and excluded from the hilltop.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing on Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment No. I
Page 12
City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes , November 6, 2000
Carol Cerimele, 12756 Evanson North, Seattle, WA
Ms. Cedmele indicated she is the property owner who has not
signed Ms. Heiman's petition for the Comprehensive Plan Map
amendment. She s~ated she has owned her property for sixty-
eight years and has some issues with the proposed change,
.especially any tax impact.
Mara Heiman, 6430 South 287th Street, Auburn, WA
Ms. Heiman spoke on behalf of Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment No. 1. Ms. Heiman explained that she initiated her
request for a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment in July.
She indicated that staff previously explained to her that a Map
amendment would not affect property taxes; however
subsequent annexation and rezone would affect their taxes.
She and other adjacent property owners have agreed to
pursue a rezone and annexation when they can locate a buyer
for all their properties. The Map amendment affects
approximately seventy acres adjacent to the northwest city
limits. She stated that the residential quality for the area has
changed over the past two decades. The growth pattern has
been primarily of industrial uses on the fiat valley floor, while
the residential uses have been concentrated on the plateau.
She believes it would benefit her neighborhood to conform to
the existing adjacent zoning. The subject properties are within
close proximity of the freight routes with easy access to multiple
arterials. Several property owners in the audience stood as a
show of support for the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment.
Gary Volchock, 16400 Southcenter Parkway, Tukwila, WA
98188
Mr. Volchock spoke in favor of proposed Comprehensive Plan
Map Amendment No. 1. He suggested that one developer who
can afford to develop the property to appropriate standards
could purchase the property. He also suggested that the
additional industrial land would be a beneficial element for the
City of Auburn.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Page 13
City of Auburn Council Meetin.Q Minutes November 6, 2000
Councilmember Wagner questioned whether the property to
the north is designated agricultural land. Principal Planner
Osaki confirmed that King County has designated the property
to the north as agricultural land.
Councilmember Borden stated that it is premature for the City
to consider annexation of the subject property. The
Comprehensive Plan and zoning changes should be part of the
· annexation. She expressed a desire for staff and the Council
to spend more time on considering the planning issues and
how the City would serve the area if annexed.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to deny Comprehensive Plan Amendment Number
1.
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Storm
Drainage Engineer Carlaw explained that the Comprehensive
Drainage Plan treats the subject area as a rural area, and the
City does not have a recommendation on any infrastructure
improvements to correct storm drainage in the area. He noted
that King County has initiated an additional study to
supplement the Mill Creek Flood Control Plan to look at the'
storm drainage issues in the area.
MOTION CARRIED. 6-1. Councilmember Brothers voted no.

Anna Nelson, 1011 Western Avenue, Suite 902, Seattle, WA
Ms. Nelson identified herself as a land use planner with the
firm of Buck and Gordon working with the property owners.
She explained that the existing zoning and Comprehensive
Plan designation for the properties come from a 1990
contract rezone that was never actualized. She spoke in
favor of the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment and
removal of the Northeast Auburn Special Plan Area
Designation.
George Thurtle, 11837 NE 43rd Place, Kirkland, WA
Mr. Thurtle identified himself as the representative for Bristol

Mr. Klappenbach spoke on behalf of the proponent. He
explained that the property is currently divided approximately
two-thirds as heavy commercial and one-third as residential.
The majority of the properties south of the proposal and
between Aubum Way North and "1" Street NE are zoned heavy
commercial. He suggested that the alignment of future "1"
Street NE would make a better separation between the heavy
commercial and high density residential.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer

CPM #7 Auburn Properties (Utility Vault Co.). Map
amendment request from Moderate Density Residential/Heavy
Commemial to Heavy Industrial. Subject properties (approx.
6.6 acres per applicant) are immediately north of the existing
Auburn Propedies' Heavy Industrial designation (approx. 34.5
acres per applicant) and have no A Street frontage.
Principal Planner Osaki presented the staff report for
Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 7. The applicant,
Auburn Properties for Utility Vault Company, initiated the
request to change the Comprehensive Plan Map designation
from Heavy Commercial and Moderate Density Residential to
Heavy Industrial. The amendment would allow the expansion
of the existing heavy industrial use. The proponent.acquired
the subject properties, comprising approximately 6.6 acres, in
1970 and 1998. The larger parcel was acquired by the
applicant in 1970, and at that time the property was designated
as commercial. Sometime between 1984 to 1988, the property
was rezoned as residential, probably through an area-wide
zoning change. The Planning Commission recommendation is
denial of the request. Mr. Osaki quoted from Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Policy LU-116 which states:
"Heavy industrial uses shall be stdctly prohibited
from the Community Serving Area of Auburn
(see Map 3.2). The only exceptions to this
general policy shall be the continued heavy
industrial use of the area east of "A" Street .SE as
shown on the Comprehensive Plan Map."
The Planning Commission interpreted the policy as meaning it
would not allow the expansion of a heavy industrial use on the
east side of "A" Street SE.
Mayor Booth opened the public headng on Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment No. 7.
J. B. Rupert, Rupert Engineering, 1519 West Valley Highway,
Auburn, WA
Mr. Rupert spoke on behalf of the applicant. The applicant has
owned the property for approximately thirty years. The property
was purchased from United Concrete Pipe Company, which
Page 19
City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes November 6, 2000
was an industrial use. The entire property was fenced
approximately twenty years ago. The current owner has used
the property as a heavy industrial use for the past thirty years.
The property owner was unaware that his property was
rezoned residential during the 1980's. Mr. Rupert stated
neither the property owner nor the City has records indicating
the property owner was notified of the zoning change. Mr.
Rupert presented a copy of a City of Aubum Hearing Examiner
Notice of Public Headng dated October 22, 1985 that contained
a zoning map of the area with the subject properties designated
as M2.
Mr. Rupert explained that the Utility Vault Company is a
subsidiary of the Oldcastle Company, which was recently
purchased by the MA Segale Company, now known as ICON.
Mr. Rupert advised that ICON had looked at possibly locating a
truck maintenance facility and corporate office building on the
subject property, but has since decided to locate the truck
maintenance facility at another location. The property in
question has been used for storage of underground utility
products.
In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Mr.
Rupert advised that Utility Vault Company has no other
planned use for the property other than storage of precast
concrete products.
Councilmember Borden inquired whether a buffer between the
subject property and the residential area to the north exists.
Planning Director Krauss stated that a thirty-foot buffer is
required. Mr. Rupert added that within the last six months,
Utility Vault Company is building a fifteen foot bermed
landscaped buffer along the north and east boundary of the
property.

CPM #17 West Main Residential Area (North of Main

Heavy Industrial and High Density Residential to
Office/Residential for property generally bounded by H Street
NW, 2nd Street NW, F Street NW and an alley, excepting an
existing industrial use located on the west side of G Street NW.
Principal Planner Osaki submitted additional correspondence
received this evening from Lloyd Haworth at 24 G Street NW,
David and Valede Simpson at 23 F Street NW, Patty Sherman
at 20 G Street NW, and Mark Walker at 25 F Street NW.
Principal Planner Osaki presented the staff report for
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment No. 17. The proposed
amendment came about as part of the City's area-wide zoning
process eadier this year. The area in question is zoned M2
Heavy Industrial. The current Comprehensive Plan Map
designation consists of Heavy Industrial and High Density
Residential. During the Council's area-wide zoning process,
Page 22
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes November 6, 2000
the Council took no action to amend the zoning map and
deferred to the Comprehensive Plan amendment process to
allow further review and discussion among the residents and
staff. Staff recommended an Office/Residential
Comprehensive Plan designation for this area, excepting the
industrial use on the west side of G Street NW. In considering
the testimony, the Planning Commission recommended denial
of the Office/Residential designation. Mr. Osaki explained that
the Planning Commission's recommendation was not so much
opposition to the Office/Residential designation, but the desire
of the Planning Commission that the area's residents, business
owrrers and/or property owners to meet and develop a
consensus on future land use for the area.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearing on Comprehensive
Plan Amendment No. 17.
Roger Montgomery, 11 F Street NW, Auburn, WA
Mr. Montgomery spoke as a property owner and business
owner in Aubum. He recommended the City Council approve
the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment. He spoke in favor
of a residential designation and against an industrial use
designation.
Valerie Simpson, 23 F Street NW, Auburn, WA
Ms. Simpson spoke as a property owner. She spoke in favor of
a residential use designation.
Marilyn Dollinger, 12 G Street NW, Aubum, WA
Ms. Dollinger spoke in favor of Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment No. 17 to change the map designation to
Office/Residential. She stated the designation would allow the
existing homes to remain, allow growth in the neighborhood,
and provide a buffer from the heavy industrial uses to the north.
Alexis Montgomery, 11 F Street NW, Aubum, WA
Mrs. Montgomery advised that she and her husband did not
receive the questionnaire/survey distributed by the Planning
Department to other residents of the area. She and her
husband have lived in their home for the past three years. She
spoke against the heavy industrial designation for the area and
in favor of the Office/Residential designation.

City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes November 6, 2000
David Grambush, 102 H Street NW, Aubum, WA
Mr. Grambush spoke as a property owner residing at 102 H
Street NW. He spoke in favor of the Office/Residential
designation. He stated his pdmary concem was the inclusion
of the Hugh McNiven property. If the Hugh McNiven property is
left with the M2 designation, there are many more uses allowed
under the M2 that are worse than Hugh McNiven, and very few
that are better.
Lyle Johnson, 32 G Street NW, Auburn.
Mr. Johnson advised that he and his wife own the building and
business at 32 G Street NW. They purchased the property in
1998 because it was zoned industrial. The property is currently
used for a family-owned commercial printing business with ten
employees. Mr. Johnson spoke in favor of retaining industrial
designation as his building was constructed for heavy
commercial purposes and would not have much resale value
under the Office/Residential designation. He spoke in favor of
retaining the current industrial designation. He proposed an
altemative to designate the properties to the north (including
his, Robert Jones and the Hugh McNiven properties) as
industrial and apply the Office/Residential designation to those
properties to the south. Mr. Johnson asked for an exemption
from the proposed amendment.
Robert Jones, 101 F Street NW, Aubum, WA
Mr. Jones stated he owns a 1,000 square foot building located
at 101 F Street NW. The building was constructed in 1984 as a
machine shop. He agreed with the comments made by Mr.
Lyle Johnson. He stated that before he purchased the building,
he called the City to determine if there were any future zoning
changes anticipated. None were anticipated at that time. He
objected that the Hugh McNiven property is not included in the
proposed amendment. Mr. Jones spoke in favor of retaining the
industrial designation as his building was constructed for heavy
commercial purposes and would not have much resale value
under the Office/Residential designation.
Christopher Johnson, 14218 SE 201 st Street, Kent, WA 98042
Mr. Johnson identified himself as a licensed civil engineer in the
state of Washington, representing his father, Lyle Johnson. Mr.
Page 24
City of Auburn Council Meetin_cl Minutes November 6, 2000
Johnson spoke in favor of retaining the current Comprehensive
Plan designations. He stated it is not viable to convert heavy
industrial property to office or residential uses. He contended
that the amendment would result in a spot rezone. He
requested that if the Council proceeds with the amendment, Mr.
Johnson's property and the property to the east of his property
retain the M2 designation. Alternatively, he suggested the
Council could retain the M2 designation for the properties north
of the southem boundary of the McNiven property and apply
the Office/Residential designation to the properties south of the
McNiven property.
Councilmember Poe questioned whether the Johnson and
Jones properties and their current uses would be allowed under
a light industrial designation. Planning Director Krauss
confirmed that they would be allowed under M1.
Councilmember Poe suggested that properties east of G Street
NW could be designated M1, properties west of G Street NW
could be designated M2, and all properties approximately south
of the McNiven property could be designated
Office/Residential.
Councilmember Brothers questioned the reason for excluding
the McNiven property from the proposed amendment.
Planning Director Krauss stated the McNiven property is clearly
an M2 type use. With the current zoning of M2 Heavy
Industrial, existing homes in the area are purchased and
converted to industrial use.
Planner Osaki clarified that the current zoning is M2 and the
Comprehensive Plan designation is a combination of Heavy
Industrial and High Density Residential.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Singer
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Lewis spoke against imposing any change on
the property owners and in favor of the residents deciding their
own destiny.

Councilmember Borden noted that the area in question has
been struggling for the past nine years to retain its residential
character. She spoke in favor of a Residential/Office
designation for the south part of the area and the north part of
the area designated as light industrial.
Councilmember Wagner spoke in favor of Councilmember
Poe's suggestion to designate the properties north of the south
property lines of existing industrial properties east of G Street
NW as M1, the Hugh McNiven property and the properties
adjacent to and directly west Hugh McNiven would be
designated M2, and properties south of the described
properties would be designated ResidentiaVOffice.
Councilmember Singer suggested tabling action on
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment No. 17 until the next
Council meeting.
Councilmember Lewis withdrew his motion to deny the
Comprehensive Plan Map amendment.
Councilmember Borden spoke in favor of tabling action on the
amendment and discussing the matter at the next Planning and
Community Development Committee.

amendment would extend the High Density Residential
