d) Auburn Municipal Court
Auburn Municipal Court Judge Burns presented a
report on court operations, improvements and
increased efficiencies for the year 2000.
Judge Burns noted the case filings for the court
increased by 23 percent; however, only five percent
of that growth was a result of criminal filings with the
remaining stemming from traffic infractions.
The creation of the court's probation department in
1999 has resulted in a significant reduction in days of
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes December 4, 2000
incarceration while at the same time increasing
offender accountability. This year the court also
implemented the Opportunity Under Transition (OUT)
program which provides an alternative to
incarceration whereby the offender performs services
for the city in lieu of jail. The court also created a
student court system in cooperation with the Auburn
School District. Approximately 39 cases have been
diverted to the student court resulting in 921 hours of
community service.
The court has also instituted several procedures to
streamline court operations in the area of public
defender screening, holiday weekend incustody
calendar, and staff cross training.
Judge Burns also described changes made to the
court's physical layout and appearance for improved
operation and safety reasons.
Judge Burns noted that in 1999 the court generated
revenue in excess of its costs. This year the court is
budgeted at $685,600 and is projected to return
revenues of $722,777.
Judge Burns thanked the Council for their support.

amendment request from Single Family Residential to Light
Industrial for multiple properties located in the South 287th
StreetNVest Valley Hwy area. These properties lie outside the
existing city limits but are within Aubum's Potential Annexation
Area (PAA).
Principal Planner Osaki presented the staff report for
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment No, 1. Mara Heiman
submitted the application on behalf of several property
owners. The applicant has requested a Comprehensive
Plan Map amendment from single family residential to light
industrial. All but one of the property owners within the area
requested for the map amendment have signed the
application for map amendment.
Mr. Osaki also displayed a map (contained in the agenda
packet) showing the adjacent County Agricultural Production
Page 4
City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes December 4, 2000
District. The subject property consists of County R1 and R4
zoning. The City's adjacent properties are M1.
Mr. Osaki also displayed a topography map (contained in
the agenda packet) of the subject properties. The Planning
Commission recommendation was to recommend that the
area be amended from single family residential to light
industrial. Staff recommended that the steep slope areas
should either retain the single family designation or
designate the entire area as light industrial and rely on the
City's sensitive areas ordinance to protect the area from
development.
Councilmember Borden questioned access for properties
designed single family. Principal Planner Osaki explained
that some properties are accessed from 287"' while others
are accessed via 55t" Avenue South. Public Works Director
Engler added that the City's Six Year Transportation
Improvement Program does not extend outside the current
city limits.
In response to questions from Councilmember Borden
regarding the City's Storm Drainage Plan, Public Works
Director Engler advised that comprehensive planning is not
normally accomplished for areas outside city limits.
However, staff members have begun collecting data for the
areas within the Potential Annexation Area.
In response to questions from Councilmembers Singer and
Wagner, Mr. Osaki advised that no comments have been
received from either King County or adjacent property
owners with regard to Comprehensive Plan Amendment No.
1. The adjacent property owners were notified of the
proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
MayOr Booth opened the public hearing.
Mara Heiman, 6430 South 287"' Street, Kent, WA, 98032
Mr. Heiman presented the Council with a handout consisting
of information related to the goals, objectives and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan, letters from property owners and a
map of the subject area. She also submitted an aerial
Page 5
City of Auburn Council Meetin.el Minutes December 4, 2000
photograph of the area. Ms. Heiman was accompanied by
several of the proponents of the amendment who indicated
their support from the audience. Ms. Heiman spoke in favor
of her application noting that the proposed Comprehensive
Plan Map amendment to M1 Light Industrial complies with
the goals, objectives and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
In response to questions from Councilmember Singer, Ms.
Heiman stated that the residential neighborhood quality has
deteriorated over the past decade. Many of the property
owners would like to annex and then sell their homes.
There is no specific industrial proposal for their combined
properties, but several developers have indicated an
interest. She pointed out that the subject area is not within
the King County Agricultural Production District, the
development rights have not been purchased, and there are
no restrictive covenants associated with the properties. She
urged the Council to approve the recommendations of staff
and the Planning Commission and approve the
Comprehensive Plan Map amendment.
Councilmember Poe pointed out that the properties in
question are within King County under an 1:{4 zone. The
property would need to be annexed and rezoned in order to
effect the proposed Comprehensive Plan Map amendment if
adopted.
Jim Auker
Mr. Auker stated he has lived on his property since 1940. In
the beginning he farmed the property, but discontinued
farming in 1964. He indicated it would be an advantage to
the City to have industrial development extend up the valley
and the property would eventually develop as industrial
sooner or later.
Dennis Heiman, 6430 South 287t" Street, Kent, WA
Mr. Heiman spoke in favor of the proposed Comprehensive
Plan Map amendment. He urged the Council to approve the
amendment.

years ago. He indicated the subject area is not viable as a
residential neighborhood. He concurred with staffs and the
Planning Commission's recommendation to change the
Comprehensive Plan Map designation from single family
residential to light industrial.
Councilmember Singer moved and Councilmember Barber
seconded to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.

seconded to approve Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment
No. 1.

Heiman and her neighbors for pursuing Council action as a
united neighborhood.

Page 13
City of Auburn Council Meetin.Q Minutes December 4, 2000
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue.
Adrienne Quinn, Buck & Gordon, 1011 Western Avenue, Seattle,
WA
Ms. Quinn advised that she represents Piano LLC which owns an
approximately five-acre parcel of property within the city of Pacific
that the City of Auburn is currently considering designating medium
density residential within Auburn's Comprehensive Plan under
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment No. 25 (later on the
agenda). She urged the Council to adopt the designation of High
Density Residential. She stated that if the City of Auburn
designates the property as Medium Density Residential, it would
encourage the property owner to immediately go to the City of
Pacific and vest under High Residential zoning. Ms. Quinn
described the subject property as an oblong parcel located at the
intersection of Oravetz Road and Lakeland Hills Way. Ms. Quinn
submitted a letter dated December 4, 2000 addressed to the City
Council regarding Piano LLC's request regarding Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment No. 25.
Councilmember Borden expressed concern with high density
residential development for the area and believes medium density
residential development is more appropriate for the area.
Planning and Community Development Director Krauss indicated
that the City of Pacific may not be in a position to provide sewer to
the property. If the City of Auburn is asked to provide sewer to the
property, the City can impose its development standards in
exchange for utility service.
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe, Planning
Director Krauss advised that the subject property is not within the
City of Auburn's Potential Annexation Area. Councilmember Poe
questioned the validity of Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment
No. 25 after the City has already agreed to eliminate
Comprehensive Plan Map designations for areas not within the
City's Potential Annexation Area.
Planning Director Krauss explained that the amendment was
proposed in response to the City of Pacific's inquiry about
deannexing the area and its annexation to the city of Auburn
Page 14
City of Auburn Council Meetin,~ Minutes December 4, 2000
because of Paci~c's difficulty in providing services. Public Works
Director Engler advised that city sewer surrounds the area, but the
City of Auburn does not have a utility franchise for the area.
Councilmember Brothers and Councilmember Lewis indicated
moderate density residential is the most reasonable designation for
the area.
Councilmember Poe noted that the subject area is not in Auburn's
Potential Annexation Area and is within the city of Pacific.
Councilmember Poe encouraged the Council to work towards a
compromise with the City of Pacific.
