II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE
A. Public Hearings
1, Auburn Downtown Plan
03.4.1.1
The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the
adoption of the proposed Auburn Downtown Plan.
The Auburn Downtown Plan will serve as a Subarea
Plan to the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan and
primarily, though not exclusively, addresses issues
related to land use, economic vitality, urban design,
stormwater management, historic resources and
transportation. The Downtown Plan also includes
goals, policies and implementation strategies
intended to promote redevelopmerit of Downtown
Auburn.
Mayor Booth opened the public hearings on the
Auburn Downtown Plan, Application Number ZOA01-
0001 (zoning code amendments) and Application
Page 3
City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes May 7, 2001
.
Number ZOA01-0001 (zoning map amendments)
simultaneously.
Principal Planner David Osaki presented the staff
report. Mr. Osaki began with an overview of the
proposed zoning map amendments using overhead
slides identified as Zoning Map Amendment #1 and
Zoning Map Amendment #2. The proposed zoning
map amendments would remove the interim
designation and implement C-2, Central Business
District, zoning on a non-interim basis.
Mr. Osaki presented an overview of the Downtown
Plan. The Downtown Plan is a guide for future
actions and redevelopment in the Downtown area.
Mr. Osaki focused on the Planning Commission
recommendations, staff revisions, and Council
Committee recommendations. The staff revisions
include updated text revisions, a historic preservation
implementation strategy, and concurrence with a
comment letter received from Mr. Steve Small, on
behalf of Small and Sons Distribution Company,
related to Figure 16 on page 101. Mr. Osaki pointed
out that the Plan contains a minimum two story
building height in the C-2, Central Business District
zone.
Mr. Osaki reviewed the proposed text amendments to
Chapter 18.04, Definitions; Chapter 18.28, C-2
Central Business District; and Chapter 18.52, Off-
street Parking and Loading, of the Zoning Code.
The Definitions chapter includes one change to
include a definition for "religious institution."
Amendments to Chapter 18.28 include several text
changes to implement interim changes on a non-
interim basis. Also included are amendments related
to automobile oriented uses in the C-2 zone. In the
C-2 zone, automobile oriented uses (service stations,
automobile repair, car washes) are not allowed. As
recommended by the Planning Commission, existing
automobile oriented uses may continue to exist in the
Page 4
., City of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes May 7, 2001
C-2 zone and will not be considered a non-
conforming use; and existing automobile oriented
uses can expand in the C-2 zone through the
conditional use permit process. Any existing
automobile repair use that has outdoor storage for
inoperable automobiles must pave, screen and fence
the outdoor storage area within one year of the
zoning adoption.
Mr. Osaki also advised that he anticipates that
representatives of Safeway Stores will testify tonight
in favor of a gasoline dispensing facility for their
location in the downtown area. Mr. Osaki reported
that the Planning Commission recommends that such
a gasoline dispensing facility be allowed through the
conditional use permit process.
Mr. Osaki reviewed the amendments to Chapter
18.52 which relate to off-street parking. The
amendments reduce the off-street parking
requirements for uses in the downtown. A 25 percent
reduction or allowance is provided for uses in the
downtown now. The proposed amendment would
increase the allowance for parking in downtown from
25 percent to 40 percent. Also proposed is a
reduction in the off-street parking requirement for
multi-family residential uses in the downtown from 1.5
or 2 spaces per unit to one space per unit.
In response to a question from Councilmember Poe
regarding service stations, Mr. Osaki explained that
service stations are considered an automobile
oriented use. The provision requiring screening,
paving and fencing of outdoor storage applies only to
automobile repair.
Councilmember Wagner requested clarification of the
Don Small and Sons comment letter and related staff
recommendation. Mr. Osaki explained that the Plan
recommends zoning changes for various parts of
downtown identified in Figure 16. Staff recommends
removing the references from the map (Figure 16)
Page 5
. o City of Auburn Council Meeting3 Minutes May 7, 2001
and leave generic discussion or text that zoning map
changes may be appropriate in the future in the
identified areas.
Councilmember Brothers questioned whether there is
a time frame for implementation of the Plan. Mr.
Osaki responded that there is no specific time frame;
however, typically planning documents are prepared
with a 20-year vision. The Plan sets a clear strategy
and direction for future development efforts. Mr.
Osaki noted that the implementation costs are only
estimates and potential private/public funding
partnerships are identified.
Councilmember Lewis questioned the origin of the
minimum two story building height in the C-2 zone.
Mr. Osaki recalled that the Downtown Task Force
discussed the minimum height for Main Street and
also a minimum density requirement for the C~2 zone.
In response to a question from Councilmember Lewis,
Assistant Planning Director Rued estimated there are
three auto repair businesses in the downtown district.
Councilmember Wagner noted the Plan includes a
five-year sunset on not requiring development to pay
storm drainage upgrade fees. He recalled that,
during their workshop on the Downtown Plan, the
Council also discussed not assessing traffic impact
fees for development in the downtown area for five
years. Mr. Osaki stated that the proposal does not
include an amendment relating to a waiver of traffic
impact fees.
Patrick Mullaney, of Foster Pepper and Shefelman,
Seattle, WA
Mr. Mullaney identified himself as a land use attorney
with the firm of Foster Pepper and Shefelman, and
spoke on behalf of Safeway Stores. Mr. Mullaney
reported that Safeway Stores representatives have
worked with City staff to develop policies in the
Downtown Plan and development regulations that
Page 6
., Ci;ty of Auburn Council Meetinn Minutes May 7, 2001
would allow accessory fueling facilities as a
conditional use in the downtown area. He explained
that the accessory fueling facility is a nationwide
trend, and Safeway's competitors located just outside
the Downtown area are allowed to construct fueling
facilities as a matter of right. Mr. Mullaney referred to
proposed regulation Section 18.28.030(H), which
limits the facilities to the sale of gasoline, must be
associated with a principal use, cannot interfere with
vehicular or pedestrian traffic, limits the number of
fueling pumps to five, requires an enclosed structure
and appropriate landscaping, and limits the height of
the structure to twenty feet, Mr. Mullaney displayed
a conceptual drawing of the fueling facility.
David Dean, In Form, Inc., 12330 120th Avenue NE,
Kirkland, WA
Mr. Dean identified himself as an architect with the
firm In Form Inc. for Safeway Stores. Mr. Dean
explained that the conceptual drawing is a general
rendering and some of the landscaping may not
apply.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember
Singer seconded to close the public hearings.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember
Singer seconded to adopt the Downtown Plan with
the proposed text revisions and a five-year waiver of
traffic impact fees for the Downtown area and request

Poe seconded to amend the motion to exclude the

B. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue.
Mayor Booth called on Public Works Director Engler to comment on
the request of the City of Pacific related to water storage. Ms.
Engler recalled the City of Auburn's attempts to obtain sewer and
water franchises from the City of Pacific for the purpose of
operating and maintaining existing lines and install new lines in
Pacific's rights of way and to serve properties within Auburn south
of Pacific. On April 2, 2001, the City received a letter from Pacific's
Community Development Director Ed Davis regarding Auburn's
request for water and sewer franchises. In his letter, Mr. Davis
stated that the Pacific City Council had adopted an ordinance
authorizing a sewer franchise to the City of Auburn, and that a
positive response from Auburn to two requests from Pacific would
expedite the granting of a water franchise to Auburn.
In order to expedite Auburn's request for a water franchise, Pacific
requests a revision to the proposed emergency water connections
Page 9
City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes May 7, 2001
in Vista Heights in Lakeland so that the connection would activate
automatically in the event of a fire. Additionally, Pacific requests to
nest 1.2 million gallons of Pacific's fire and standby water storage
in Auburn's existing water reservoirs. The City of Pacific presented
their request at the April 16, 2001 City Council meeting and the
April 23 and April 30 meetings of the Public Works Committee.
Ms. Engler summarized the Public Works Committee's discussions
regarding City of Paci~c's request. The Committee agreed that the
City could entertain an agreement with Pacific if the agreement
provided for 1 ) a time frame of no more than three to four years; 2)
clarification from the Department of Health concerning the meaning
of the term continuously available; 3) interruptibility with flow
limitations, such as 2,500 gpm for 2 hours and 1,000 gpm for 12
hours; and 4) a hierarchy of emergency needs so that reliability in
Auburn would not be compromised. In turn, Pacific Councilmember
Steiger commented to the Public Works Committee that if the water
franchise is ready to go, and the storage issue is still being worked
on, the water franchise would move forward.
Ed Davis, Community Development Director, City of Pacific
Mr. Davis presented the Council with a letter dated May 7, 2001
regarding proposed water storage sharing with the City of Pacific.
Mr. Davis explained that the letter addresses issues raised by the
Public Works Committee and staff at the April 30, 2001 Auburn
Public Works Committee meeting. In his letter, Mr. Davis states
that at this time the City of Pacific is not proposing to participate in
a joint reservoir, but would like to share 450,000 gallons of existing
standby and fire storage capacity of the City of Auburn water
system on a temporary basis (4-5 years).
As explained in his letter, Mr. Davis described how the intertie
would operate. Under normal conditions, there would be no direct
connection between the two systems. The control valves would be
closed when both systems are in normal operation mode. Water
would be supplied on a temporary basis under the following
conditions: 1 ) Auburn does not have an emergency (low pressure)
situation in the valley zone of their water system; and 2) Pacific
does have an emergency condition; and 3) Pacific's reservoir is
empty; and 4) Paci~c's water supply cannot meet the emergency
demand; and 5) all water would be metered; and 6) after a severe
emergency condition has ended Pacific would meter an equal
Page 10
City of Auburn Council Meetin_~ Minutes May 7, 2001
amount of water into Auburn to maintain a net system supply of
zero.
In lieu of a maximum volume, Pacific proposes to use automatic
valves at the intertie that would be designed to maintain a critical
service pressure in Auburn's valley zone.
Mr. Davis stated that the short term sharing of storage would not
impact other purveyors since normally there would be no supply to
Pacific. Additionally, the intertie system could be designed to allow
water from Pacific to flow into Auburn, if Auburn was having a
severe emergency in its valley zone and the Pacific system was in
normal operating condition. Mr. Davis presented a set of graphics
that illustrated water elevations and operation of the control valve.
Mr. Davis requested the City Council consider the sharing request
from the City of Pacific as the proposed arrangement would benefit
both parties.
Councilmember Singer questioned Item 8 of the Interlocal
Agreement Outline contained in one of Mr. Davis's handouts, which
provides that the Agreement shall have a term of 20 years. Mr.
Davis introduced Pacific's attorney, Joe Mentor, to respond to
Councilmember Singer's inquiry.
Joe Mentor, Jr., Mentor Law Group, PLLC, 1505 Westlake Avenue
North, Suite 300, Seattle, WA, 98109
Mr. Mentor, attorney for the City of Pacific, stated the handout
includes an overview of the City of Pacific water storage nesting
proposal and Department of Health design requirements. Mr.
Mentor explained that he wrote the interlocal agreement outline as
a starting point. He proposed a 20-year term with an ability to
cancel as an alternative, but an agreed fixed term could be
substituted. He suggested that the two cities develop an outline of
an agreement and present it to Department of Health for review
and determination as to whether it meets the Department of Health
requirements.
Councilmember Borden questioned the difference between nesting
storage and emergency intertie. Mr. Mentor responded that
storage for fire suppression and emergency standby can be met by
Page 11
City of Auburn Council Meetin~l Minutes May 7, 2001
sources--not necessarily storage. But for a source to be counted in
lieu of storage, the source has to be continuously available.
Councilmember Borden questioned City of Paci~c's intertie
agreement with the Lakehaven Water Utility. Mr. Davis advised
that the intertie agreement with Lakehaven is still being negotiated.
Councilmember Wagner inquired regarding the technology for the
automatic control valve.
Mark Cornett, Parametrix, Inc., PO Box 460, Sumner, WA, 98390
Mr. Cornett, consulting engineer for the City of Pacific, responded
to Councilmember Wagner's questions regarding the control valve.
He explained that the control valve operates according to water
pressure differentials within systems. The valves operate on
springs and hydraulic pressure differences.
Responding to comments from Councilmember Lewis, Mr. Davis
stated that he would like to separate the issues and get the water
franchise agreement along East Valley Highway in place, but at the
same time would like to see a motion by the Council approving the
concept of shared water storage and development of an interlocal
agreement.
Councilmember Poe commented that he believes that in time of
emergency the City of Auburn would respond with water whether
there was an agreement or not. He also requested that the Mayor
and Fire Chief administer the proposed agreement. He
recommended the City go forward with the proposed agreement.
Councilmember Singer pointed out that the proposed interlocal
agreement is a benefit to both cities, conserves water, and protects
endangered species.
Councilmember Borden spoke in favor of the proposed agreement.
Mayor Booth suggested the City consult with its attorney for water
resources and advise Covington and Water District 111 of the
proposal.
Councilmember Poe moved and Councilmember Wagner
seconded to instruct the City Attorney to work with the attorney for
Page,12
City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes May 7, 2001
the City of Pacific and prepare an interlocal agreement to furnish
emergency water storage to the City of Pacific.
In response to a question from Councilmember Lewis, Mr. Davis
indicated the City of Pacific would move forward on Auburn's
request for a water franchise agreement.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7-0.
Monroe Shropshire, King County Fire District 44, 13202 SE 339th
Street, Auburn, 98002
Mr. Shropshire, Chair of the Board of Commissioners for Fire
District 44, spoke regarding proposed City Resolution No. 3350
which terminates a contract with District 44 for fire services on a
portion of Lea Hill. He was accompanied by Commissioner Henry
Kraemer and District Fire Chief Greg Smith. He expressed the
District's opposition to cancellation of the contract between the City
and District 44, as the contract cancellation will be financially
detrimental to the District. Mr. Shropshire requested that at the
time the City decides to go forward with the Miller and Cobble
Creek annexation, the City consider assuming fire service delivery
to the Lea Hill area. Fire District 44 would then be willing to
contract back to the City of Auburn for fire service to the remainder
of Lea Hill. He also requested that the City consider transfer of
District assets to the City at the time the City assumes full fire
protection for Lea Hill.
Jerry Miller, 1226 W Street NW, Auburn, WAr
Mr. Miller spoke in favor of a gated community concept. He spoke
specifically regarding a proposed development comprised of 18
homes located at the south end of golf course. Assistant Planning
Director Lynn Rued advised that the Planning Commission is
scheduled to review the gated community concept at their meeting
tomorrow evening.
