Water and sewer service is available at the property.
The Public Works Department has determined that both
water and sewer service can be made available to the
property.

"discontinuity" with adjacent development. Adjacent
developments have been constructed to King County
standards and requiring City standards for this
development will result in a discontinuity.
The development is consistent with appropriate City
standards. The development will be consistent with all
City standards except for the following:
* Road width will be 28 feet with one side signed for no
parking (City standard is 34 feet with parking
permitted on both sides).
* An underground storm detention vault will be allowed
if there is an agreement that maintenance of the
storm drainage system is the responsibility of the
homeowners association. After annexation, the City
can order maintenance, if failure to comply, the
City can undertake and lien costs to the homeowner's

project will also need to be signed. These
agreements must be recorded against the property.
(City standards do not allow underground vaults).
The development is consistent with the City Comprehensive
Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the site is
single family residential development.
The property cannot be annexed immediately. The property
is approximately 1.25 miles from the existing City
limits.
For each of the above reasons, it is the recommendation
of the Planning and Community Development Committee to the
Auburn City Council that authorization for the execution of
the development agreement and the issuance of water and/or
sewer certificates be approved.
