C. Announcements and Appointments 1. Announcements a) Legislative Update by Representative Dan Roach Mayor Lewis welcomed 315t District Representative Dan Roach. Representative Roach stated that he is visiting various cities to share the results of the legislative session. Representative Roach reported that the two year budget is determined on odd years for the Page 1 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 operations, transportation, and capital budgets, and reviewed the budgetary process. Representative Roach reported there was a 10% increase in revenue due to the housing boom. The additional revenue was allocated to a variety of projects. Representative Roach did not support the budget amendment even though there were many worthy projects being funded, as he would rather plan for the future and fund projects which can be sustained without increasing taxes or eliminating those projects altogether. Representative Roach reported on the passage of the sexual predator bill, which was a compromise measure. Fifty different bills were introduced on this legislation. Councilmember Wagner inquired regarding legislation on limiting protestors at veteran's funerals to a 500 foot barrier. Representative Roach stated that he worked on a bill that did not ban protestors, but placed a 500 foot barrier around funerals. Protestors are prohibited from disrupting the funeral ceremony and inflicting additional sorrow on the individuals mourning the loss of a loved one. This bill has not been voted upon, but should be one of the first to be considered next year. Mayor Lewis thanked Representative Roach for his work on this particular bill as it originated out of the City of Auburn, and also for all his efforts on behalf of the veterans and citizens of Auburn. b) 2006 State and Federal Legislative Briefing by Intergovernmental Services Coordinator Carolyn Robertson Intergovernmental Services Coordinator Carolyn Robertson distributed a memorandum regarding the 2006 State and Federal Legislative update.

The City of Auburn should receive notification of award of the appropriations sometime in the fall. In response to questions from Councilmember Singer regarding the status of SSB 6686, Annexations, Ms. Robertson reported that Governor Christine Gregoire has not yet signed this bill. Suburban Cities Association (SCA) members recommended approval of SSB 6686. SCA Secretary Karen Goroski distributed an action alert asking all interested parties to contact Governor Gregoire to request that the legislation be signed. There appears to be concerns on the fiscal note of the bill, which is approximately $22 million. Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 In response to Councilmember Wagner's inquiry regarding distribution of funds provided by HB 2673, LIFT, Ms. Robertson stated that the cap of $5 million per year is applied statewide. Staff is currently working on some proposed projects in an effort to be ready once the three pilot projects have been completed. c) Puyallup River Watershed Linda Burgess of the Puyallup River Watershed Council presented information on an environmental project for the White River. Ms. Burgess stated that she is the Chair of the Puyallup River Watershed Council (PRWC). The PRWC is a voluntary group composed of citizens, local governments, businesses, elected officials, and environmental agency representatives who coordinate efforts to restore and protect the environmental, economic, and cultural health of our watershed. Each year a work-plan is created to advance the PRWC mission through projects that create opportunities for education and community participation, and provide visibility of the current state of the watershed. Ms. Burgess requested Council's support of and participation in the biological inventory conservation project, or BioBlitz, to increase public awareness and appreciation of the unique bio-rich area along the White River. The PRWC has partnered with the Pierce County Biodiversity Alliance (PCBA) to conduct the BioBlitz. Ms. Burgess introduced Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Urban Wildlife Biologist for the South Sound region and PCBA member Michelle Tirhi to present an overview of the history, goals, components, and expected benefits of the BioBlitz. Ms. Tirhi reported that the Puyallup River Watershed project began in 1998. The goal of the project is to look across the landscape of Pierce County and its connecting watershed to determine the best places Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 for fish and wildlife persistence. That work culminated in a large network encompassing seventeen large blocks of land. Each block of land is known as a Biodiversity Management Area (BMA) Network. Ms. Tirhi reviewed the history of the development of the PCBA and adoption of the Network into the Open Space Map of Pierce County's Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Tirhi reviewed the first pilot project in Gig Harbor which was selected from the BMA Network. There are two phases to the outreach work with the public. The first phase includs conducting a BioBlitz, which consists of twenty-four to forty-eight hours collecting wildlife inventory. Gig Harbor was the first BioBlitz in Washington State and was a very successful project. With permission from landowners, community members are paired with biologists to inventory all wildlife. The second pilot project is in the Lower White River BMA The BioBlitz for this project will be held June 2-3, 2006. Phase two will include working with the local community on designing their own vision plan for biodiversity preservation. 2. Appointments There were no appointments for Council consideration. D. Agenda Modifications Agenda modifications included corrected versions of Ordinance No. 6008 and the agreement to Resolution No. 4000 distributed prior to the Council meeting. II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE A. Public Hearings 1. Industrial Land Uses Moratorium 03.4.2.1.2 City Council to conduct a public hearing on the moratorium established February 6, 2006 by Resolution No. 3982, on the filing of applications for licenses, permits and approvals for industrial land uses in the areas of Auburn, the geographic boundaries of which are (1) bounded by State Route 18 on the south, State Route 167 on the west, 15th Page 6 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 Street Northwest on the north and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the east, and (2) bounded by West Main Street on the south, the Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the west, 6th Street Northwest on the north, and C Street Northwest on the east. Planning, Building, and Community Director Paul Krauss reported that the area referred to in the moratorium is known as the Green Zone and is located between and adjacent to the area designated as the Auburn Environmental Park and downtown Auburn. Over the last four to five years the idea of the Auburn Environmental Park has progressed to reality and the idea of a Green Zone has become part of the City's vision. Over the last few years the City has also become an Urban Center and implemented the Main Street Renewal Project. This project includes reconstruction of Main Street and a trail connection from the Interurban Trail to the Auburn Transit Station. The moratorium was enacted because of Council's desire for amended zoning in the moratorium area and, possibly, Comprehensive Plan amendments. In the ensuing months since the implementation of the moratorium, staff discovered that the moratorium is perhaps too broad as it does not allow for tenant improvements in existing structures. Staff is recommending a modification to the moratorium to allow tenant improvements with the exception of increasing structure size or height. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing. Alexis MontQomerv. 11 IF' Street NW. Auburn Ms. Montgomery stated that she is confused about the handout that was sent to residents regarding the rezoning. Director Krauss reported that staff has been instructed to move away from the heavy industrial uses in the moratorium area. There is one residential area included in the moratorium area on the west side of the railroad tracks, which has been zoned for industrial uses for many years. The outcome of the moratorium could provide better means for neighborhood preservation. Ms. Montgomery inquired regarding public notice and citizen participation regarding improvements in her neighborhood. Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 Mayor Lewis stated that the City is very sensitive to the needs and desires of her neighborhood and is committed to working with the citizens. John Pietromonaco. PO Box 700. Mercer Island Mr. Pietromonaco indicated that he owns property in the City of Auburn and is also a member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP). On behalf of NAIOP, Mr. Pietromonaco submitted a letter of opposition regarding the moratorium. Mr. Pietromonaco also submitted letters from the Mayor of the City of Puyallup to Christine Gregoire dated November 21,2006 and from Department of Revenue Director Cindi Holmstrom to Representative Jan Shabro dated February 20, 2006 regarding Streamlined Sales and Use Tax (SSUTA). Mr. Pietromonaco spoke in opposition to the moratorium. Pollv McNeil. Summit Law Group. 315 5th Avenue South, Seattle Ms. McNeil indicated that she represents Waste Management of Washington, Inc (WMW) located at 701 2nd Street NW, Auburn. Ms. McNeil submitted a letter to the City of Auburn dated March 20, 2006 regarding implementation of the moratorium under Resolution No. 3982. Ms. McNeil stated that, although WMW believes in the goals of the moratorium, it does not believe the moratorium should be applicable to the recycling facility owned by WMW. Ms. McNeil indicated that WMW has been working with City of Auburn staff over the last two years in terms of implementing a phased approach for development of a state of the art material recovery facility on its property located adjacent to its current recycling facility at 701 2nd Street NW. Ms. McNeil indicated that WMW proposed to expedite one component of their plans to convert its current recycling facility to a fleet maintenance facility and later seek a conditional use permit to construct a material recovery facility on adjacent property. Ms. McNeil indicated that WMW was informed of the moratorium at a pre-application meeting for the conditional use permit. Ms. McNeil stated that WMW may not have made significant investments for improvements and land acquisition if they had been aware of a possible moratorium on development. On behalf of WMW, Ms. McNeil urged Council to exclude WMW properties from the moratorium. Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 Ray HUQQins. 311 Clay Street. Auburn Mr. Huggins expressed concerns regarding impacts to his neighborhood related to rezoning the area west of the railroad tracks and north of Main Street. Mr. Huggins suggested leaving the residential area as a buffer between the industrial zone and the wetlands project and allow them to rebuild their homes. Mr. Huggins expressed his frustration as a property owner. Mayor Lewis referred Mr. Huggins to Planning, Building and Community Department staff and also to the Planning and Community Development Committee to assist in determining his options as a property owner. Kim Lorenz, 59 SkaQit Key, Bellevue Mr. Lorenz indicated that he and his wife own property on Lund Road. Mr. Lorenz stated that they were required to purchase additional property when developing a commercial structure in order to provide a buffer to the adjacent wetlands. Mr. Lorenz stated that the financial impact to them could be substantial if the property is rezoned from industrial use. Mr. Lorenz requested Council exclude their property from the moratorium area. Paul Fadro. 26821 SE 22nd Court. Sammamish Mr. Fadro asked for clarification related to zoning for existing industrial properties in the moratorium area. Mayor Lewis stated that the purpose of the moratorium is to allow sufficient time to determine what zoning changes should take place. Director Krauss stressed that the draft ordinance looks at tailoring allowable uses in that area. The ordinance could make some uses non-conforming, so that they will still be allowed to operate in their current capacity, but would not be allowed to expand. It is not the City's intent to take away the current use of existing buildings. Larrv Backus. 308 Clay Street NW. Auburn Mr. Backus referred to a moratorium implemented three years ago related to storm drainage. Mr. Backus stated that he understood any new development in that area would be Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 responsible for costs related to improving the storm and sewer systems on Clay Street. Mr. Backus pointed out that new development has occurred without the installation of new storm and sewer improvements. Mayor Lewis instructed Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy to bring Mr. Backus' concerns before the Public Works Committee and to notify him when that will take place. Director Krauss pointed out to Mr. Pietromonaco that the moratorium has no bearing on Streamlined Sales Tax (SST). Significant land use changes, the maturation of the downtown area, the Auburn Environmental Park, and the fact that the entire area is within four blocks of Auburn City Hall have led to reconsideration of the fundamental planning assumptions that have been used in this area for the last thirty years. No one else requested to speak. Councilmember Singer moved and Councilmember Peloza seconded to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. 2. Vacation Application Number V-04-04 03.9 V-04-04 City Council to conduct a public hearing on the request to vacate a portion of Iowa Drive east of 56th Avenue South and south of Parcel 3751600725. Transportation Planner Joe Welsh reported that the subject property is located in the extreme southwest corner of the City of Auburn up the hill from, but not contiguous with West Valley Highway. It is a very steep slope running from the top of the hill to the city limits. It is undeveloped right-of-way that cannot be used for road or transportation purposes. The applicant is developing property on the north end of the hill and would like to use this property as part of their storm system for their project. The property was created in 1911 as part of the City, and as such, the City can seek compensation for the vacated property. Staff recommends approval of the vacation with two conditions. The conditions would provide City access to the stream along the base of Page 10 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 Iowa Drive for maintenance, monitoring, and mitigation purposes and also establish a twenty-five foot buffer around the stream for protection purposes. The stream is currently in a very unimproved state and is subject to refuse dumping. The developer has promised to mitigate the area. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing. Lisa Kline. 2215 N 30th Street. Tacoma Ms. Kline stated that she is a planner for AHBL, Inc. and spoke on behalf of the applicant. Ms. Kline spoke in favor of vacation. No one else requested to speak. Councilmember Singer moved and Council member Wagner seconded to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. 3. Vacation Application Number V-01-05 03.9 V-01-05 City Council to conduct a public hearing on the request to vacate a portion of Boundary Boulevard located east of West Valley Highway, west of SR 167, north of the Auburn/Algona city limit line and south of 1550 West Valley Highway. Mr. Welsh reported that this is an odd shaped property that cannot serve as a road connection due to State Route 167, which runs immediately on the eastern boundary from the north to south end of the property. The applicant wants to use the property for access to property he wants to develop. There are no utilities in the right-of-way with the exception of City sewer, water, and storm. Staff recommends approval of the vacation request with the condition that the City retain a public utility easement in the right-of-way. Mr. Welsh noted that the applicant has changed their company name to 1650 WVH, LLC. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing. ROQer Hazzard, 3610 S 334th Street. Auburn Page 11 City of Auburn Council Meetin~ Minutes March 20. 2006 Mr. Hazzard stated that he is the applicant for the vacation request and spoke in favor of the vacation. No one else requested to speak. Councilmember Singer moved and Councilmember Wagner seconded to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. B. Audience Participation This is the place on the agenda where the public is invited to speak to the City Council on any issue. Rod Hart, 3312 Auburn Way South #C. Auburn Mr. Hart spoke regarding signage at his place of business. He reported that Code Compliance Officer Chuck Joiner notified him that his business signs were illegal. Mr. Hart indicated that Mr. Joiner did not approach other businesses in his complex that are displaying similar signs in the same quantity, size, and location as his own signs. Mr. Hart stated that he owns Derm FIX Tattoo. Mr. Hart distributed photographs of the signage in question. Mr. Hart indicated that additional signage has gone up since his last contact with Mr. Joiner. Mr. Hart expressed displeasure with the actions of Mr. Joiner. VirQinia HauQen. 2503 IR' Street SE. Auburn Ms. Haugen expressed concerns regarding a fence in her neighborhood. Director Krauss cautioned that Ms. Haugen is raising questions regarding a variance that will be heard before the Hearing Examiner during a public hearing tomorrow evening. City Attorney Daniel Heid stated that the City Council is limited in terms of information it can accept or receive on matters that could come back before them in a quasi judicial capacity. Attorney Heid suggested that the appropriate forum for Ms. Haugen to express her concerns would be before the Hearing Examiner during the public hearing as there is only one open, public hearing allowed. If it comes before the Council it would considered at a closed record hearing and no new testimony may be heard. Page 12 City of Auburn Council Meetina Minutes March 20. 2006 Ms. Haugen expressed displeasure at not being allowed to speak regarding this issue. She also complained regarding unlicensed businesses located on 'R" Street and residential homes being used as rentals. Ms. Haugen again tried to speak regarding the fence in her neighborhood and was cautioned by Attorney Heid that this was an inappropriate forum to express her concerns. Ms. Haugen also expressed concerns regarding unsafe conditions for pedestrian traffic on 'R' Street. C. Correspondence No correspondence was received for Council review. III.
