PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of Les Rowland to
rezone from R-2 (Single Family) with a Special Property Use Permit to construct
45 single story multi-family living units to R-4 (Multi-Family) a parcel of land
approximately 98,000 sq. ft. in size lying south of 8th Street N.E. on "I" Street
N.E in the 600 and 700 blocks. (Application 7-79) The Planning Commission recommends
denial of the R-4 (Multi-Family) request and approval of amending the original
ordinance to r_hange the site plan and exterior elevations. Also that the site
plan be modified to eliminate apartment No. "D" in Building No. 3 to provide
additional setback to make it uniform with the other building setbacks. Also
that "I" Street be constructed to City standards between 8th St. N.E. and the
east property Line including the extension of all public utilities. Consideration
should also be given to any requirements of the Public Works and Fire Departments.
Herman R. Ansingh, M,D., spoke against the request and presented a petition from
home owr2ers in the area. He stated they felt the Special Use Permit given in 1966
should not have been issued in the first place and the request would deviate from
the Court decision denying the townhouses. He questioned why the Special Property
Use Permit had not been used for 13 years. He also pointed out that 8th Street
was never widened or the Cemetery removed as had been promised. Ansingh asked that
traffic and environmental impact studies be conducted. He also expressed concern
over the quality of the units planned.
Bob Cowden, representing the petitioner, stated they did not apply for R-4 but it
had been recommended to them. He explained they had not built on the propert origin-
a11y because the area was in a slump at the time and he emphasized they did not
build "junk". Cowden added they were willing to go along with the Planning. Commission's
recommendations.
James Hodson, 905 - Sths N.E., spoke against the request saying he agreed with
Dr. Ansingh. He expressed his concern over traffic problems in the area and submitted
a letter Dr. Ansingh had sent to the Planning Commission and Mr. Schuler.
Bi11 Trumbull, 634 "H" Street North, owner of the property which abutts the piece
in question , urged the Council to deny the R-4 request.
Don Rottle, 911 - 5th N.E., asked property owners to stand who were in the audience.
Approximately 20 people stood. He stated there was a traffic congestion problem and
he expressed concern over provisions for fire equipment access. He added he would
like to see the area kept as a prime residential property.
Sid Lewis, representing property owners to the east, noted the units presently
proposed were definitely an upgrade from what was originally planned.

MAY 7 , 197 9
Nancy Colson, 904 - 5th N.E, spoke to the size of the units. She said most of
the people felt it would be better to have single story units that can be screened.
Bob Armstrong, 610 8th Street N.E., stated he felt anyone developing east of the
property would have a very stxong interest because it appeared they would only have
one exit through "I'° Street.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Hitchcock, that the public hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilmember Craig questioned what was actually applied for and whether the
Planning Commission could find a way to limit the duration on a Special Property
Use Permit. He stated he felt the people had a valid concern over the rezone
to R-4 in the middle of a residential area. He added it looked like an error
had been made in 1966 in granting the SPU.
Councilmember Larson questioned what difference would there be if the rezone was
approved or disapproved as to the units involved.
George Schuler responded basically just in the type of unit since they would be
able to build a.s provided in the original application.
Councilmember.• Roegner questioned why the widening of 8th Street had not been done.
Mayor Kersey responded that he believed in 1970 there had been discussion on forming
the LID to widen the street and move the Cemetery, however, there was not a majority
of opinion tc~ go ahead with it.
Roegner also questioned which Comprehensive Plan was being used when the rezone
was allowed.
Schuler replied there had been a Comprehensive P1 an in 1960 which preceded the
present plan,
Councilmember Flechsig asked if rezone was approved would townhouses be two-story
104C footunits and if rezone was disapproved the units would be one-story 748 square
feet.
SchJaler answered Flechsig was correct. If the straight R-4 was approved they could
build anything R-4 would permit. That was why they are recommending denial of the
R-4 and approval of a revised SPU permit.
Councilmember Lea questioned Schuler about the height permitted under a SPU and
R-4 zoning.
Schuler replied you can restrict a SPU to any configuration you wanted while under
R-4 a 35 foot height limit could be used (or two stories)..
Lea also asked what Comprehensive Land Use Plan currently in effect permitted.
Schuler replied it was zoned for R-4 Medium Density.
Councilmember Lea expressed concern over the request of home owners for an
Enviranrnental Impact Statement.
George Schuler stated he did not feel a EIS was necessary because they would not
be changing the density but just the configuration.
Jack Bereiter stated the Council had the authority to overturn Schuler's decision.
Councilmember Roegner asked if the request were to be denied could the Council
still request an EIS on the original application.
Bereiter stated that would be something they could take into consideration.
Flechsig asked if the application was denied, could the Council insist on the
street improvements being made.on "I" Street.

INGTON MONDAY
MAY 7 , 197 9
Schuler said he assumed the street improvements would have to be made since
it would be their only access to the cite.
CounciZmember Craig submitted there was a big difference between the environmental
impact of single story units cpmpared to two story units. He felt the appropriate
action would be to deny the request for R-4 and if applicant were to pursue revision
of the original SPU to require and Environmental Impact Statement and through
the Planning Commission Zook into the original SPU in l 966. He added the present
Comprehensive Land Use Plan permits R-4 because the SPU had already been approved
and if you were to look at the surrounding area you could see the property is
surrounded completed by R-2.
Councilmember Lea suggested the matter be held in abeyance to get some input from
the residents and have the developer,wark with the Planning Director rather than
hold the developer up for six months when he could resubmit the request again.
Cauncilmember Hitchcock asked if the request was denied could the developer proceed
on the original request.
Schuler stated there would be nothing stopping him from developing as approved
in the original SPU permit.
It was moved by Hitchock, seconded by Craig, to deny the request of Les Rowland
to rezone from R-2 with a SPU permit to Construct 45 single story multi-family
Living units to R-4 (Application 7-79).
VOICE VOTE: All Councilmemt.~rs voted YES MOTION CARRIED
2. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of Frank Fassbind
to rezone from Unclassified to M-2 (Heavy Industrial) a parcel of land 73 acres
in size bordered on the north and south by 29th and 37th Streets N.W, on the east
and west by the Burlington Noxthern and Chicago Milwaukee Railroad right of ways
(Application 9-79) The Planning Commission recommends approval of the M-2 request
because it will conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and will be compatible
with existing and proposed industrial uses in the area and the public utilities
are available adjoining the site for extension to serve the property.
Bob. Smythe, attorney, 29 1st Street, representing the petitioner, stated he felt
the proposal meets all the tenets of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Also,
the utilities were available to meet the requirements of industrial use of the
land.
No one else spoke for or against the request..
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Roegner, that the public hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Craig asked if the City of Tacoma letter on the right bf way created
a problem. Pat Nevins responded it was just to inform the City:
Councilmember Roegner asked if the Comprehensive Land Use Committee had studied
the area. Schuler responded that it had not as yet.
Councilmember Flechsig asked why the Planning Department had recommended M-1 zoning
while the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the M-2 zoning.
Schuler stated the Planning Department recommended the M-2 be denied and M-1
approved to be consistent with the surrounding property.
Craig asked what the difference was. Schuler replied the difference would by
in the types of uses permitted, M-2 would permit a heavy use such as founderies,
etc.
Craig asked Mr. Smythe if M-1 zoning would present a problem.. Mr. Smythe stated
they did resist the M-1 .because the M-2 would permit more flexibility.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Roegner, to deny the request of Frank Fassbind

3. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of Robert blooding
to rezone from Unclassified to R-1 (Single Family) residential a parcel of land
approximately 80 acres .in size lying east of Aster Street S.E. extended north
(4600-4800 blocks) between Aster Street and the Stuck River. (Application 11-79)
The Planning Commission recommends denial of the R-1 (Single Family) request
and approval of R6 (Single Family) classification for the west 2050 feet of the
site and the balance of the site to be Ieft in an Unclassified classification.
Also that no .building permit be issued until this site is served by an improved
public street and the requirements of the Public Works and Fire Departments have
been met.
Richard Reich, Tribal Attorney for the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, submitted a
statement to the Council along with a Soil Survey done by the United States
Department of Agriculture. He stated the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe by nature
of their treaty felt the use of Land on the reservation should be handled through
Muckleshoot licensing procedure and sales to non-members did not diminish tribal
authority. He added if the City decided to pursue action on the rezone, the
Muckleshoot Tribe asked that the request be denied giving ZZ reasons as outlined
in the statement accompanied by the Soil Survey and an aerial photo§raph of -the area
taken by the Army Crops of Engineers.
No one else spoke for or against the request.
It was moved by Lea, seconded by Kitchell, that the public hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Councilmember Lea questioned George Schuler about the access to the property.
Schuler stated it was their recommendation that no building permits be issued
until access is provided and the Fire Department recommendations for water mains
be accomplished.
Lea questioned the timing of the request because it appears this property cannot
be developed until the utilities and roadways in.
Schuler stated he had discussed this with the petitioners and it was a matter
of acquiring right-of-ways and putting access roads and utilities in when there
could be some doubt whether the land could be used. He added the reason they
went to a Declaration of Non-Significance was because they had a reading from
the Utility Committee based on the study the City had made that septic tanks
in this area where the ground was suitable would not meet our water tests.
.Provisions have been made that a private water system could be developed. Also
individual lots would need perk test before building and se¢stic tank permits
could be issued. He added they had further tie this down by requesting that
access to the property be provided by a dedicated improved public right-of-way.
A11 they are doing on the zoning is recommending intent. They are recommending
tabling of the plat until the public access is provided.
Lea asked Bereiter for his comments on the remarks on jurisdiction by Richard Reich.
Bereiter stated he respectfully disagreed with the Muckleshoot position. He
suggested, however, that this matter be set aside for this request and consider
it on its general merits.
Councilmember Reogner urged the Council to take a strong look in the Declaration
of Non -Significance check list.
Councilmember Craig agreed that the rezone should not be before the Council at
this time because there were serious water and sewer problems that need to be

resolved. He .felt anyounca had the right to petition the Council for a rezone
however thexe were too many things to be worked out and the rezone should be
denied at this time.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Lea, that the request of Robert Wooding to
rezone from Unclassified to R-l (Application 11 -79) be denied.
VOICE VOTE: A11 Councilmembers voted YES MOTION CARRIED
4. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of John Meneghini
to rezone from R-3 (Duplex) to R-4 (Multi-Family) a parcel of land approximately
10,000 sq. ft. in size located at the southwest corner of East Main and "R"
Streets S.E. (Application 12-79) The Planning Commission recommends approval
of this request and that a screen fence be required along the property lines
adjacent to the parking Iot to provide protection from headlights, noise, etc.
The clerk clerk Hated a petition signed by 46 people had been submitted opposing
the rezone.
No one spoke for or against the request.
It was moved by Fleohsig, seconded .by Kitchell, that the public hearing be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Craig asked if people could exit from "R".Street rather than East Main Street.
Schuled responded the traffic would prohibit it.
Councilmember Roegner asked for clarification on the drawing of the 4-plex as
it was two stories and Schuler was recommending one story.
Schuler responded he doubted if they could get a 4-plex in a single story because
of the odd shape of the Iot and set back.
Craig asked Schuler if. he was recommending the rezone be granted..'. Schuler stated
yes with the restriction that the unit be restricted to a single story. This
would be compat.ib.le with the existing single fsrt4ily houses on the adjacent
property. You would have to put a restriction to granting the R-4 in the
.form o.f a separate agreement.
Lea questioned the allowance of R-4 zoning and limiting by a separate agreement
restricting the unit to one story. Schuler replied thas hasbeen done many
times. You cannot put rest.rictionsin a zoning ordinance, however, you can make
a separate agreement.
Lea also asked why a Special Property Use Permit was not applied for in this
case. Schuler answered the Special Property Use Permit was not used anymore
however a Conditional Use Permit would permit only one living unit per 6000 sq.
feet of property. A11 they cauld do would be to put a duplex on the property.
Lea expressed concern that approving the R-4 would open the area to apartmen t
dwdllings. Schuler stated they recommended it be only for single story. He
added if the Council wanted to allow more density in R-3 zoned areas they should
amend .the code but warned this would leave them open for really playing politics
with a piece of property.
It was by Fleohsig, seconded by Hitchcock, that the request of John Meneghini
to rezone from R-3 to R-4 (Application 12-79) be granted subject to a contract between
the applicant and City of Auburn that the applicant will agree to a single story
construction on this property.
Bereiter stated although this has been done in the past and he was aware of the
problems encountered by the Planning Department in this type of situation he did
not feel comfortable with a separate agreement because it could be subject to
challenge. He suggested the Council check with the applicant to see if he would
be comfortable.

AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY MAY 7, 1979

to table the matter until the next regular meeting of the Council for the purpose

Ken Thompson noted to the Council that Section 7 of the ordinance is meaningless
because of the schedule outlined in Section 6 as he interpreted it. In other words
the City would be locked :into the interest even if the principal was paid off sooner
than the 18 years. He added this method of payment was considerably more than other
alternatives that have been discussed.
Jack Beroiter said this was part of the negotiations between the State Attorney
General's and Auditor's office. He felt it was the best legal. solution the city had.
Councilmember Craig pointed out this was the best deal the City could get because
it was based on 1969 rather than 1979 Land values.

jeopardize the use of 1969 Land values in the contract.
