PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the proposed Federal
Revenue Sharing budget for 1950. The City proposes to use $394,000
in Federal Revenue Sharing funds for public safety salaries.
John Hurt, representing Teamster's Union Local No. 117, spoke in favor
of using some of the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds to bring salaries
of union employees up to a level consistent with the cost of living
increases. He gave statistics illustrating cost of living increases
related to the present salary level.
No one else spoke for or 'against the proposed Federal Revenue Sharing
use.

be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
2. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of the
BNL Development Company to rezone from R-3 (Duplex) to C-3 (Heavy Com-
mercial) a parcel of land 1.79 acres in size lying on the south side
of 4th St. S.E. between "D" and "F" Streets S.E. (Application 44-
79) The Planning Commission recommends denial of this request because_
of the impact a C-3 zone would have on the surrounding residential
area.
The City Clerk read a letter from BNL Development Company requesting
their application be amended from C-3 to C-2 central business district
zoning .
H. F. Hansen, 311 "F" Street S.E., spoke iri opposition to the request
because he felt C-3 was way too wide a use for this property, it would
create a nuisance to established residences and would create traffic
problems. He stated they did not object to a lighter industrial such
as C-1 or C-2.
Dorothy Hansen, 311 "F" Street S.E., stated they did not want C-3 in
their area and requested they be allowed to live in their homes in
the way they have been. She felt it would be spot zoning and the City
already has more on their hands than it can deal with and should take
one thing at a time.
Jean Asplund, 309 "F" Street S.E., spoke in opposition to the request
but stated they were not against .~ C-1 or C-2 rezone.
Lawrence Klug, 301 "E" Street S.E., stated he was not in favor of any
commercial zoning and would like to see the area stay residential.

3. Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of Marie
Hahn to rezone from R-2 (Single Family) to M-1 (Light Industrial) a
parcel of land 33,640 sq. ft. in size lying at the northeast corner
cf West Main and Clay St. N.W. (Application 45-79) The Planning Commission
recommends approval of this request because it will conform to our
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and will be compatible with existing uses
on surrounding properties and consideration should be given to any
requirements of the Public Works Department.
David Morgan, 240 Auburn Way South, representing the owner and developer
who were in attendance, was in the audience to answer any questions.
Douglas Lawery, 337 Clay St. N.W., spoke against the request because
it is contrary to continued development in the area as residential.
He stated this rezone would be an infringement of business in a residen-
tial area and is spotty rezoning.
Hersel Brombeck, 1510 Hemlock Dr. S.E., realtor, stated he felt the land
value would increase if the area were to become industrial, r~wever,
it would take years for the increase to be seen. A rezone would bring
the value of a residence down at this time and he felt the home owners
should be able to maintain a life style they have had in recent years.
Edie Balduff, 410 Western St. N.W., stated she concurred with Mr. Lawe s
statement; she did not want businesses in her neighborhood.
Sandy Bruce, 402 Western St. N.W., stated she also concurred and
she felt the City should solve their problems before they bring anything
new in.
Carl Dungan, 102 Western St. N.W., explained he was against the request
or anything that would put more water in than there was now.
Raymond K. Williams, 320 Clay St. N.W., concurred with the previous com-
ments.
Joan Williams, 320 Clay St. N.W., also concurred with previous comments.
Howard Brown, developer of the property, stated the property has been
cleared for years and uses surrounding it are other than residential.
Rodger Campbell, 415 Western St. N.W., also spoke against the request
because he felt there was no water drainage allowed for this development.
He also felt it would create a higher water table by bringing in more
fill.
Therese Schultz, 147 Clay N.W., whose property borders the property in -_
question expressed concern more fill would push water all they way int
their house. She felt more fill would only create more of a problem.
Dave Morgan, 240 Auburn Way South, stated this property was the only
piece not zoned M-1 in the area. He added all water off this lot would
be flowing into catch basin and they into sewers which may correct the
problem already there and that this request does fall withir. she Compre-
hensive Land Use Plan.
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Craig, that the public hearing be
closed. MOTION CARRIED

Craig asked Pat Nevins if storm drainage was available on Main Street.
Nevins respond~__d it would be in conformance with surface i~rairage
ordinance.
Q
Hitchcock asked Pat Nevins if the higher roadway prevents overcoming
the problem entirely. Nevins said this was correct.
Larson asked George Schuler if the property was surrounded by M-1 or
C-1. Schuler said yes.
I,ea asked Pat Nevins for clarification on the. standard retention policy.
Nevins replied there would still be a requirement for some means to pre-
vent water from leaving the lot even though a storm sewer was available.
Lea also asked if the intent of the King County ordinance that the City
has adopted was to hold the water on the lot until the water goes down
and it then goes into the system. Nevins responded the intent was the
problem would not be any worse although it would not correct the problem.
Craig asked Mr. Brown where the traffic would be coming from. Brown
replied there would be no access from Main Street, it would be coming
just around the corner on Clay Street leaving Main Street intact.
i,ea asked Brown if the ten foot dedication could be accomplished. Brown
replied he didn't see why not. Brown .added he was surprised at the
opposition and wondered why they had not been at the Planning Commission
meetings.
Roegner asked Pat Nevins what happens if it doesn't work and what recour
do the people have. Nevins emphasized this is not going to solve the
problems which already exist, however, system would not add to the probl
He added in normal rainfall it was true this development may ease the
problem, however, in heavy rainfall this would not be true.
it was moved by Larson, seconded by Lea, that the request of Marie I.

Commercial) a parcel of land approximately 3.20 acres in size lying
between "A" and "B" St. N.E. north of 7th St. N.E. (Application 46-
79) The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request because
it will be compatible with existing and planned uses on surrounding
properties and is bordered on two sides by industrial zoning and will
provide a logical extention of our commercial district. Consideration
should also be given to any requirements of the Public Works Department.
Steven Harris, Western Pacific Properties, 2112 3rd Ave., Seattle, re-
presenting the owner, was in the audience to answer any questions. No
one else spoke for or against the request.

Developments for approval of a preliminary plat to be known as Auburn
Meadows on a parcE~l of land 9.01 acres in size located east of "I" St.
N.E. and on both rides of 31st St. N.E. as proposed. (Application P-
12-79) The Platinng Commission recommends approval of the preliminary
plat of Auburn Me~~dows subject to the following conditions: (1) That
the plat name Auburn Meadows has already been used by prior application,
therefore, another name will have to be selected, (2) That 31st St.
N.E. as shown on the preliminary plat be extended to the east line to
provide future circulation when adjoining properties develop, (3) That
no building permits be issued until an approved access is provided between
this plat and an Existing improved public street, (4) Subject to any
requirements of the Public Works Department. Also, that the owner and/
or developer submit to the Public Works Department for their review
and approval the plans and specifications for all public improvements.
No one in the audience spoke for or against the request.
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Flechsig, that the public hearing
be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Craig asked for clarification whether a building permit could be issued
before the 37th Street L.I.D. goes in. Nevins replied that was their
recommendation.
Larson wondered if they could go down and connect with the 30th St.
Metro line. Nevins said it was a possibility. Schuler added the cost
would be prohibitive so they probably would go to a L.I.D.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Larson, to approve the application
of Cambrian Development for approval of a preliminary plat known as
Auburn Meadows (Application P-12-79) to incorporate the Planning Commis-
sion recommendation Items 1 through 4 and Marv Seabrands letter of
October 11, 1979, with the clarification of Item 4 of the Planning

18.58 Off-Street Parking Requirements.
No one spoke for or against the proposed amendment.
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Flechsig, that the public hearing
be closed.
MOTION CARRIED
Lea expressed concern this would circumvent the problem of unpaved
parking lots in the City which the Street Committee has been faced with.
He felt the matter should go back to the Street Committee for more study.

ment to Chapter 18.58 Off-Street Parking Requirements back to the Street

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Ken ~a7_duff, 410 Western St. N.W., spoke regarding the annexation (Ordirranc
No. 3457) and the Thormod rezone. He opposed both the annexations and the
rezone and suggested people consider carefully what the action would mean.
He added he felt the governing body of the City had been negligent; examples
being the condition of Western Street and the roadbed of Clay Street being
built up 22 inches because of the Boeing industrial sewer. He suggested
the public hearings be opened back up.
Doug Albert, attorney representing Ken Balduff and other interested indi_vid--
uals, submitted a packet to the Council containing data related to the
probs_em. He suggested because of the large amount of property involved
the City should continue the matter and hold a moritorium on development
in 'the area. IIe felt the storm drainage and sanitary sewer problem should
be -resolved before development.
Amos Dungan, 102 Western St. N.W., shared some of his problems with water
not draining from his property
Rodger Campbell, 415 Western St. N.W., spoke against the Thormod rezone
partially because promises in the p~.st by the State and the City had not
solved the problem. He felt he could not support the rezone because
he felt there would be no recourse should further problems develop.
Laurie Johnson, Seattle Audubon Society, expressed the Society's concern
about the need to preserve open space and agricultural land in King County.
She urged the Council to reconsider growth in this area especially because
of its proximity to the Blue Herron rookery near the interse~'i.on of West
Valley Highway and Peasley Canyon. The Society felt preserving the rookery
may not be enough.

r~UBURN 6 WASHINGTON MONDAY NC :'EMBER 5 1979
Ron Severson, 1317 "0" Street N.E., spoke in favor of the rezone request
by Irv Severson and stated he was in the audience to answer any questions.
Edie Balduff, 410 Western St. N.W., handed out additional copies of a ~acket
put together by citizens against rezone containing what they feel is proof
to substantiate the posi*ion of residents.
Harry Swanson, 20 Western St. N.W., spoke against any rezones until he
was assured the drainage problem was solved.
Norman Overland, 347 Clay St. N.W., added his comments against the Thormod
rezone .
Judy Baska, 347 Clay St. N.W., owner of a new home in the area, spoke against
the Thormod rezone.
Raymond K. Williams, 320 Clay Street N.W., stated he could not see where
the rezone would help his home and was against it.
Ken Balduff, 410 Western St. N.W., reviewed further the packet presented
to the Council documenting arguments against rezones.
Doug Lowry, 337 Clay Street N.W., owner of a new home in the Thormod rezone
area, felt some consideration should be given to the transition between
existing neighbors and industrial use.
Sandy Bruce, 402 Western St. N.W., shared some of the problems they have
had with water retention causing their fireplace and steps to sink. They
cannot plant a garden because of the water covering the land.
Al Moen, 1404 Riverview Drive N.E., spoke against the Severson rezon~ because
he felt the new plat plan did not meet the intent of the Council.
Bob Kruger, 1314 Pike St. N.E., stated he did not object to the Severson
rezone, however, he felt everything should be inside the fence. He said
he felt Severson ran a good park but asked the storage area be inside the
fence.
Linda Mullins, 2023 Pike St. N.E., objected to the Severson rezone because
(1) The trees required in 1975 -had not been complied with, (Z) A fence
should be put all the way around and (3) The storage area should be inside
the park. She asked that Severson be required to go along with what the
Council set forth.
Jim Goldsmith, Hugh Goldsmith Assoc., 501 Lyon Bldg., Seattle, stated he
felt the Thormod rezone had received due process and should be approved.
He felt it was important to note the drainage problems existed before this
request.
Gary Volchok, 1600 Park Pl., Seattle, representing Mr. Thormod, explained
all of the land is not developable and some of the particulars which have
transpired in development up to this date regarding drainage. He added
nothing could be done to the property until the water retention plan is
approved by all the agencies involved.
Denny Caban, 722 W. Valley Highway N., spoke against the Thormod request
stating he had to have his septic tank pumped more often because of the
drainage problem.

2. The request of Halvard Thormod to rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to
M-1 (Light Industrial) a parcel of land approximately 62 acres in size
located at the end of Clay and Western Streets with a portion lying
west of the Valley Freeway. (Application 42-79)
Lea expressed his surprise at the amount of opposition and wonder why
there had not been people at the committee meetings.
Craig stated the problem could not be solved by any one person or agenc
and the cooperative efforts of various governmental bodies working
on the Mi11 Creek Drainage Study could bring a solution eventually.
He added development of the area would actually help the situation
as unpopular as it may be.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Flechsig, to approve the request
of Halvard Thormod to rezone from A-1 t_o M-1 (Application 42-79)
and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance
to include th? recommendations of the Planning Commission and comments
by Marv Seabrands in his letter of August 30, 1979.

MOTION CARRIED
3. The request of Irvin Severson to rezone from R-2 (Single Family) to
R-TP (Mobile Home Park) a parcel of land approximately 18.5 acres in
size located east of the existing Rio Verde Mobile Home Park.
Craig expressed surprise the revised plat plan did not deal with the
problem with the storage area. He felt the Council's instructions
had not been complied with.
Roegner also expressed concern the storage area was still not contained
within the park. Schuler stated the applicant had bought the adjacent
residence and changed the configuration of the storage area and put
a building in the new lot he had acquired.
Roegner clarified the intent of the new storage building was to block
the view of the storage yard. Schuler confirmed this. Roegner stated
he felt the storage area was still not contained within' the park.
Craig felt this situation was not unlike a recent request for rezone
to industrial from residential for the purpose of storage. If someone
came along and requested this area be rezoned for storage it would
be turned down as was the previous one because it would not be a proper
use in a residential area.
Larson disagreed because he felt as long as the storage area was within
the fence and not abutting the neighboring residential property it con-
formed.
Craig said the whole objection was the neighbors nearby have to look
at this storage lot.
Lea stated he had a number of calls and it confirmed in his mind the
problem was the need for the storage area to be within the park. He
favored denying the application.
Flechsig asked Ron Severson if the acquisition of the residence was
for the purpose of screening the storage yard. Severson replied no
it was purchased to gain access to sewer and storm drainage lines.

Flechsig asked Schuler if he felt Severson was going to comply with the
recommendation calling for trees for screening. Schuler replied the cond-
itions could be put into the rezone ordinance which would give specific
directions.
It was moved by Roegner, seconded by Craig, that the request of Irvl.n Severson
to rezone from R-2 to R-TP (Application 38-79) be denied.
