Subject: Letter of Intent: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
Proposed Project: Acquisition of the Neely Property
PROJECT PROP.OSED BY JIJRISDICTION: Please include abriefproject 1)description, 2)
identification of benefits,3)estimation of cost,and 4)source of local share.
- u
1. Project Description:
The City of Aubum requests an$80,345 Hazard Mitigation Grant. It proposes
to provide a$26,791 match to create a total project budget of$107,126. It will
use thbse fiinds to acquire the Neely pmperty
The Neely property is an original Aubum homestead. The original homestead was settled'm
1850 by Aaroon Neely and has remained in the Neely family ever since. Currently the pmperty
has an area of 3/4 of one acre and has a single story,xambler styled home located oa it. It is
located at 1508 West Main Stceet and is cumndy zoned for light mdustrial development.
The City of Aubum owns all of the property adjacent to the Neely homestead. It acquired the
adjaccnt property ihrough the aonpayment of a sewer improvement district assessment. The
City plans to use portion ofthe adjacent land for stomi dxainage managemeat
For several months out the year, for the past twenty plus yeazs,the property becomes flooded.
Accotding to Mrs.Neely, she remains in the property until the flood water invades her hearing
ducts. At thai time she is forced to relocate. During the recent Thaaksgiving flood she was
forced tn vacate her home. During her absence,Mis:Neely's properry was looted twice. 'Ibis
constant flooding makes the pmperty fimctionally obsolete,it endangeis life�d praperty The
Plight of the Neely family occasionally appeazs in local newspapecs. Attached aze two
newspaper azticles which explain the continuing siwation in more detail.
2. Reduction of Risk,Hardship,Loss,and Suffering:
Conditions on the Neely property satisfy the definition of a"blighted azea"established by RCW
35.81.010(2). This statute defiaes a blighted azea as the existence of coadifioas that endanger
life or property by reasons of fize or other causes. It is property ihat zetaids the provisioa of
housing accommodations or constitutes a social liab�lity and threat to public hrelth,safety and
welfaze. The coafinually flooded coaditions of the Neely property endanger life. The mmmbei of
iastances when the Fire Department had w rescue the occupants ofihe property indicates a social
liability and a menace to public health, safety and welfaze. The pmperry has been vandalized and
looted on occasian. All ofthese factors attest to its blighted condition.
The acquisition of the Neely property is recognized m dtafts of the l�f'ill Creek Basin F1ood
Control Plan as a flood bazard reduction measwe. The propose grant would enable the City to
purchase the property and remove the blighted conditions. Proceeds from the acquisition will
enable the curcent occupants of the pmperty to relocate imo decent,dry aad affordable housing.
The vacated pmperty would be protected aad iestorod as flood storage and/or wcdaads habitat.

Hazard Mitigatioa Gran�
3. Bm�ts of Aequiring the Property
In additioa to providing flood relief to the pmperty owners,the Neely propefty is recognized as
one of the highest priority sites for the protection and restordtion the Mill Creek Corridot. It is
included in several regional plans and projects designed to manage wetlands,aquatic xesources
and water guality Attac.hed is a letter 5rom Jim Kramer,manager of the King County Surface
Wates Managemem Division,that refecences the following plans and pmjects:
• Kina Coimtv Fiood Harard Reduction Plaa: This planning document wac prepazed in
response to the 1990 flood disaster. It recommends removal ofthe Neely.residence:as aa
important flood reduction measure. It states�at such action would"offer pe�anent,secuie
protecIIOn of human healih and safety" Attached is a copy of the referenced F1ood Ha�ard
Redudion Plan.
• Mill Creek Basin Flood Comrol Plan: f7ood con�ol altematives curnnfly under
wnsideraIIOn include the removal of the Neely resideaces as a flood hazazd reduction
measure. This F1ood Plan cites the area as a site to store nmoff during flood events.
• Mill Creek Waur Oualitv(WOl Manaaeme�Plan: The WQ Plaa ideatifies the sectian of
Mill Creek that inciudes the Neely property as the highest priority,water quality problem in
this particular basin. It cites the azea creates environmental problems regazding biological
oxygen demand levels duiing the summer months.
• Mill C�eek Special Area Mana�ecnent Plan(SAMP): The d:aft SAMP prepazed by the
Affiy Cocps of Engineers ideatfies the cxnual Mill C:cek Comdor as wetlands and ripaiian
l�abitat of lugh value. h iecommends the acquisition,pmtectioa and restoratioa of the e.ntire
corridor,including the Neely properiy
Since the acquisition of the Neely property advances the implementation of these regional plans,
King County will give the City credit for the acquisition of the property in regional fuading
plans. The Neely property is also a potential siu for iaclusion in a Wetiand/Aquatic Resource
Mrigation Bank. Pnoceeds from the sell of development rigl�,imdeiwritten by pmpecty in this
mitigation bank,will buy,restore aad impmve wetlands. Assuming the price of development
rights is equivalent to the valne of dry indushial pmperty,the value of the developmeat rights
genecated by the Naly property should be appm�mately four times geater than its existent
value as chroniplly flooded land.
Finally, smce the City would use Commimity Development Block Cnaat fimds to match the
Hazard Mitigation Graat,the eventual use of the Neely pmperry must bonefit low income
n�sidmtg. A suggested alumative to the cash pumhase of developmeat rights is the acquisition
of such rights thmugh the generaRon of jobs for low mcome iesideats.
4. Estimated Value of the Pronertv
The following iepresenu the estimated value of the Neely property The figees are based on the

Dear Congresswoman Duan, �S `
7 ��
I am writing this letter at the request of my grandmother Hazel Neely who is a voting raident m
district She is a vicdm of chronic urban floodiag. Her home of 45 years is locaud az the south west
comer oFthe crossing of Stau Route 167 and the West Main Street overpass that leads into downwwn
Aubum. A summary of the problem will 6elp you realize what our family has been up ageinst
The early 1970's brought the new elevaud State Route 167 to the ea5t of my grandparentg back yard along
with a mountain of dirt to the north of their home which was used w build West Main Street overpass. The
innxent Mill Creek to the west was only beginning to see the cffectg of urban development
A dead end road was the aew means by which io accas the Neely's how'isolaud property. A State
jadgment took a eornv of their aere properry. The State never affered or nquired the purchase of the
home at that time. Grandmothec complained.soQie that'she eould now only see the tup half of ML Ramier
and it sure would 6ave been nice if that big streetlight wasn't running up the middle of it too. Grandfather
rnmplained a bit about the large'puddla iu his front md back yard from the new nm off from the freeway.
He was also none W happy about the new erosion of his annual vegetable gardrn.
It went on ltice this for several years then closer to t�e 1980's the puddles didn't dry up I'ke they used W.
'('he puddles became ponds and grew bigger every year. Graadmother notieed a lot of ducks living m the
yard, Grandfaiher annoimeed it wauid be another failed gazdm t6is year.
Then the Cfty decidett the easiest rouu for a new 36"sewer mam was through the Neely's 5ront yard. 'Ihe
City said this would inerpse your propeRy value ia the fiidm if you let us take this eas�ent Additio�lly
the City said thry would no[damage Grandfathecs gardm so�,that it would be an improvanent to it.
Grandmother tkioughk that doesn't sound so had. Grandfather thought,I s�e hope they're right
Then Ieur su71 Mill Crnk eould uo longa take the Slliag af watecshed azeas up etream and sterKd spillin8
its banla. The 1990's have brought severe stcuct�al damage beeause every time a rams for more than a
few days the house is s�muuaded by water. Gcandmother staRed calling 911 a lot Gcandfather kept
saying it eever nsed to flood hlce this!
It is 1995 aad Grandmother is now aloae without grandfatlter. She has bee¢leS with a home she ean not
sell. She has speeial aeeds becavse she has lived 52 of her 75 ye�s with the paralYdnB effecta of polio.
Hv income eonsists of appro�dmasely Sve hundred dollazs a month. Ha home has not been habitable
smce the ead of Octobec 17�e eost of flood"msaiaace atong with the eansistendy mounting preexistmg
damaga has precluded the unsible purchese of flcod'�ce. Also.the insuranee agmts she spoke to m
the past have told her that the home would fiavo to be a totallG'sg washed away a collapsed. W'rth m'ban
flooding this is not the case. She evea saw floo3in�sucmimd'mg ehe'heuse as eady as August this yesr,.-
which appears to be a direct result of the new super mall clo'se by:'13is year is unmatehed'm xverity w
any etLer. T6is hag de5aitely been the worst year yei with the ment effects of the super mall. 1n the
fuhae years,who Imows what the new hocse racing track e�71 do! During fl�is last T6aaksgivmg flood she
was l000ed twice. I must confess the family of Gr�dmother is getting pretty ared of standing guard w this
men made mas.
My great grandfazher hetped to settle Aubum. The restored Neely Mansion on the edge of wwn toward
Black Diazaond is a monument ro that. My g[andpareata have lived and bult oa the very land my groat
grandfather onca owned. My gandparents have lived'm the commimity and paid taxes in the City limits
thea whole life. I ask of you,is it fair U�at a long standing citian of the eommunitySn whieh you represrnt -
teke the toss of ha home because of the eondemaarion foreed upon her by many mvolved govemme�
ageaeies? Yo�a help oould mean the diffaence in a safe�nd 6ealthy quality of life for my gandmotha.
Something must be done and it must be done soon! Mayor Charles Booth of Auburn suggested that you
might hetp locate federal fimdv altowmg a buyout for reloestioa 'I'he family of Hazel Naly would be
gaxful for relief of this long lasting nightmare.
Thaok yau for your time and effort regazd'mg this urgeat request
ResPatfiillY,

Mayor, City ofAubura

Aubura,WA 98001
RE: NeelyProperly
Dear Mayor Booth:
I am writing to discuss the Neely pmperty located at 1508 West Maia Street in Aubwn and the
Neely famil}�s interest in selling that properiy.to escape ctironic flooding. This letter is
submitted in response to the City of Aubum Pabfic Works Departmeat's request for
informadon about relevant programs and projeds in the area that support acquisitioa of the
property. Any suggestions for possble approaches to provide relief to tiie Needy faau�y aad
benefit the Mill Creek Comdor are advisory only, since the Needy property is located withm the
G"rty of Aubura boundaries. Representatives of the Neely's have contacted my off ce and we
have been careful to note the C'rty as.the sppmpriate lead agency for azry follow up action.
I understand that the Neely fam�y would prefer.to sell the problem property and relocate the
elderly and disabled Mrs.Neely. Teri Hutto and Troy Sperberg(Mrs.Neely's grai�dchildren)
have contacted Kiag County SurFace Water Managemeat(SWl�Division stafffor infosmation
about tha Ivfll Creek Basin flood Coatrol Plan and any pmgrazns that might be ava�able to
purchase their proPecty as a flood ba;ard reduetioa project. In additioq SWM Divisioa staff
disaused this matEer with Tim Carlaw from the City of Anbvm's Pubfic WorYs stormwater
progra�who suggested tbat a brief summary ofpro�aa�and projects about the importaaae
of this site to the Mll Creek Conidor, aside from the cl�ronic Sood'ing it expefiences would
provide some helpful persp�tiva.. Such a s�mary is pmvided below Since flood bazaid
reduction and protection ofthe Mll C:reek Corridor complemeat each other, acqiiisition aad
restoration of ttie Neely pmperty may benefit all involved.
If such a pvrchase were to ocwr,fimds would either come from fedecai, stat�or local soi�rces.
My uaderstandiag is that there'are no curreoily f iaded and aya�able federal bny-out programs
A previous flood buy-out pro�the°I362 Program,°is�isco�inned A new program
called °Fiood Mtigation Assistance,° created tbrongb amendments to the Flood�isviance
ReformB�l,tl�at maY�PFart buY-outs w�t not be ava�able uaril implemeating regulations are
approved—expected in ttie spring of 1996. The oniy oth�source of pote�iai fimd'ing is the
Hazard Mrtigation Graat Program,which must be tigge�ed by a Presidential�isaster

and qualification with no assurance that the Neely properiy would be eligible. Due to the
urgency associated with the Neely properiy,itmay be worth considering reflef for the Neely
property by acquiring it with local resources. Aside&om provid'ing flbod relief to this properiy
and sec�on of MIi Cree1S this particular site is recognized in a mimber of ongbing regional,
cooperative plans and projects to manage wetland and aquatic resources and water quality.
Although you may laiow of these;they are listed below and briefly descn'bed for your
information.
• Iv�ill Creek Special Area Manaeement Plan(SAiviP�: The draR SANiP identifies the central
Mill Creek Corridor as the highest value vietlands and ripariaa habitat, and recommends
protection and restora6on of the entire corrido,including the Neely property.
• Pilot Project Restoration Site for the SAivIP: Conceptual restoration plans have been
prepared to serve as example p�ot projects for the type of site restoration measures which
vrill be reqyired under the SAMP. The"G4deld North" and Neely properti�s comprise one
of the p�ot project sites.
• IvSli Creek Comdor Protection/Mtiaation Bankin Progra�r : To prepare for completion
and implementation of the SA1vIP, staff from Kent,Aubum, and Kng County are currently
discussing work on a IvfiIl Creek Corridor Protection and IvTitigation Baalc Progra�with an
Interlocal Agreement to establisl� administer,and operate such a program: The Neely
property, Iocated in the Corridor,would be a poteatial site for incIusion in a Wetland/
Aquatic Resource Ivfitiga6on Bank
• The Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan: Parts of the Mill Creek Basi�particularly the
central corridor in the upstream portion of the Mll Creek valley floor, are being evalvated
in the Ivrll Creek Basin Flood Control Plan as places to store runoff during flood eveats. In
addition, draft flood control attematives aow uader consideration specify the removal of the
Neely residence as a flood hazard reduction measure.
• The Nt�ll Creek Water Ouaii�y NVO)�a,gement Plan: The WQ Plaa identifies the section
along lv!'ill Creek wluch includes the Neeiy property as the highest psiority water quaT�ty
problem in this basin(with a severe dtssolved oxygen sag�aad high water temperat�ses and
biologccal o�rygea demand levels in summer months); and recommends that restoration
measures be implemeated for this entire reach.
• The Green River Ecoss!�tem Restoration Pro¢ram: Tbis nzwly aathocized prograzn,
admiaistered by the Uaited States?,imy Cotps ofEagineers(COE�,w$1 ultunately fimd
aquatic restoration projects tbroughout tfle Greea River. The removal of tbe NeeIy
re:e3ence and restoration of the ripaiian wetland onsite wovld appear to be a qualified
pmject, although the timiag aad ava�ab�'rty of GOE fuasT'mg is unceitain at tius time,

Every one of these projects or plans recognizes the importance of the central Mill Creek Corcidor,
as does the(Sty of Aubum's Comprehensive Plaq in providing aquatic and wetland habitat,flood
attenuatio� and water quality improvements. Furthamore,the NeelY P�P�S'�r�8���
one of the lughest priority sites for the grotection and restoration of tlie Mill Creek Corridor. At
the sazne time,it is clear thatthe Neely fam�7y wants very mueh to sell the pmperty. This truly
could be a°win/win" situarioq if tHere is the opportunity to act in a timely maz�ner. Becanse there
is no federal or state assistance available at this time,local funding optioas for acquisition of the
Neely property need to be considered if quick action is desired.
We cleasly recognize that acquisition of this property is primanly a decision for the City of
Aubuzr to snake. If the City of Aubum were to decide in favor of some kind of acquisition for
purposes coasistent with the projects and plans descnbed above,King County would support that
decision given the regional importance of Mill Creek to the Green River Vfratershed. Farther,we
would be w�ling to recognize purchase of the Neely property by the CSty of Auburn as a vatid
flood control element,to be couated towards AuburiPs overall contn'bution to irriplementation of
the Mll Creek Basin Flood Control Plan,now in preparation: Of course,we.would also
recognize Auburn's contn'bution m subsequent regional funding plans for Mill Cree1S such as a
Ivfitiga6on Banl�in the event the City acted alone in this purchase.
I am w�lling to discuss potential acquisitioa of the Neely properly further if you are interested. In
additios� staff of King County SWM(as well a4 Auliura Public Works and Planning Department
sta�are worldng on tiie plans and projects descn'bed ahd could provide you with more deta�if
you would I�ce.
Thank you fer your consideratioa of this matter. Please contact Dave Clark,River Managemrnt
Section Maaager, at 296-8388 if you would like to meet on this subject.
Sincerely,

River: Mill creek (AUburn)
Reach: CorriBor (Map Panel 5, Project #607)
Problem
Frequent inundation damages residential and agricultural property
� and prevents safe travel on several roads. These inuiidation
problems are related to several restricted culverts along I�ifll
Creek (Auburn) . In addition, one. residence _is frequently
inundated. by these flood waters.
IFossible_Solutions.
* Conveyance improvements: Local water surface elevations could
� ba lowered by improving bridges, culverts, and other existing
ltmitations to channel conveyance.
I � Wetlaad Enbancements: Hydric soils along the valley floor
could be made to function more ePfectively as wetlands.
� * Relocate Individual Residence: This would offer permanent,
secure protection of human health and safety.
lFreliminarv Recommendation
Improve local conveyance and relocate one home.
� �ssues for Further studv -
� * Because this project would improve lacal conveyance and lessen
flood storage, it would increase downstream flood peak Plows,
Therefore, construction of the Mill Creek Corridor project
� should not proceed before the Mfll Creek outlet project is
built. and can accept indreased Mill Creek flows wfthout causing
downstream damages.
� +► Funding shares should be negotiated between Auburn, Rent, and
King County. Each jurfsdiction governs roughly one third of
� the basin.
