A. Public Hearings
No public hearing was scheduled for this evening.
B. Audience Participation
This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak
to the City Council on any issue.
Perry Peters, 5809 Graham Avenue #C, Sumner, WA 98390
Mr. Peters addressed the Council regarding City requirement for a
home fire sprinkler system for a home he is constructing at 3005
53rd Street SE in Auburn. Mr. Peters presented a written synopsis
of his comments to the Council. Mr. Peters indicated that the
requirement for a home fire sprinkler system and all its
appurtenances would be a hardship and unnecessary since his
home is on a five acre tract and is 223 feet from the nearest
dwelling. The home will be wired with fire and smoke alarms and
will also have a monitored burglar/fire alarm.
Councilmember Wagner requested that the matter be referred to
the Municipal Services Committee and that the Fire Marshal draft a
reasonable separation between dwellings and an ordinance which
would eliminate the fire sprinkler requirements for single family
homes if the separation requirements are met. Councilmember
Poe, Chair of the Municipal Services Committee concurred.
Shelly Watson, 1806 2"d Street SE, Auburn, WA
Ms. Watson spoke regarding her request to rezone property
located at 1806 2nd Street SE from R-l, Single Family, to R-2
Single Family, under Item VI.A, Application Number REZ01-0003 of
these minutes. She recalled that before annexation to the City a
few years ago, her property was zoned by King County to allow
eight homes. Under the City's R-1 zoning, she would be allowed to
Page 2
City of Auburn Council Meeting1 Minutes July 2, 2001
have three homes on the property. She urged the Council to
approve the rezone from R-1 to R-2 in order to allow the
construction of four single-family homes on her property. Ms.
Watson also spoke regarding emergency response to her address.
C. Correspondence
No correspondence was received for Council review.

C. Application Number WSC01-0005
A3.13.8 WSC01-0005
City Council to consider the request of A & L Benedict, LP; Romart
Investments, LLC; Ken Olson; North Lake Tapps LLC, for a
Development Agreement for the issuance of a sewer availability
certificate for property located north of Lake Tapps and east of
Lakeland Hills South, along route of Lake Tapps Parkway East.
Associate Planner Shirley Aird presented the staff report for
Application Number WSC01-0005. The applicant has requested a
sewer availability certificate for a proposed 193-1ot residential
subdivision and two commercial lots located in unincorporated.
Pierce County on what will be Lake Tapps Parkway East at
approximately 182nd Avenue East. Part of the project is located
within the City's urban service area. The recommendation from the
Planning and Community Development Committee is for approval
of the request for that portion of the project within the City's urban
service area, and denial of the request for that portion of the project
outside the City's urban service area. Some of the conditions of
the sewer availability certificate include the following: any future
development or modifications made to the development are made
to City standards; if Pierce County allows the initial commercial
development using an interim septic system, the remainder of the
sewer service would be made only if the septic system is
abandoned and connected to sanitary sewer; and park land shall
be dedicated and developed according to the Parks and Recreation
Director and approved by the Planning and Community
Development Committee.
Page 8
Citv of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes July 2, 2001
In response to questions from Councilmember Wagner regarding
completion of the parkway, Ms. Aird advised that the developer is
working with the planners and developers of the Lake Tapps
Parkway East. Accesses to the parkway will be developed
according to City and Pierce County standards. Planning and
Community Development Director Krauss interjected that the
Agreement between the City of Auburn and Pierce County relating
to construction of the parkway provides that the City will cooperate
with construction of Phase 2 of the parkway. The City has no
financial commitment regarding Phase 2 construction of the
parkway.
Councilmember Wagner inquired whether the parkway is the
proposed route for the sewer. City Engineer Dowdy stated that
most likely it would; however, he could not confirm since he has not
viewed the plans for the parkway.
Councilmember Wagner noted there is mention in the staff report
that the City does not have an approved Comprehensive Sewer
Plan for the area and that the City may have to make
improvements to its gravity sewer line. He expressed concern with
considering approval of the certificate when there is no
Comprehensive Sewer Plan, and if the City will have to bear the
cost of improving its gravity line.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Wagner
seconded to refer the request to the Public Works Committee for
further review. Following discussion regarding procedure,
Councilmember Borden withdrew her motion.
Councilmember Borden moved and Councilmember Wagner
seconded to hold a closed record hearing on Application Number
WSC01-0005 at the next regular Council meeting.
