FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Robert Porter has applied for Water and Sewer Certificates of Availability for a property in the Lea Hill annexation area. The applicant anticipates dividing the 2.68 acre parcel into 13 single-family lots. 2. Water and Sewer Certificates of availability and an Annexation Agreement were issued for the property in 1994 for construction of one single-family house. 3. A water main is available adjacent to the site. Water service will require construction of a distribution system on the site and an 8" minimum water main line "loop system" on site, as per Auburn City Code 13.16.090. 4. Sewer service will require an improvement to the sewer system of approximately 50 feet of sewer trunk or lateral to reach the site, an on- site collection system, and construction of approximately 400 feet of 8" minimum sewer line from 116th Ave. SE to the easternmost lots. The residential road as shown extends beyond the north property line. 5. The west side of the property is bound by 116t" Ave. SE, which is designated by King County as a Future Collector Arterial. The entrance to another housing development is located on the west side of the street, opposite the proposed street entrance for the Porter development. 6. The Porter property and all surrounding properties are within King County's R-6 (Residential) zone, which allows six dwelling units per acre. Single family houses are located north and south of the proposed project area. These houses face toward 116th Ave. SE. Ordinance No. 5288 September 13, 1999 Page 3 7. The site plan submitted with the application is generally consistent with the requirements of the City with the following exceptions: a. The residential road as shown extends beyond the north property line. b. Half-street improvements, which include sidewalk, landscape strip, vertical curb with gutter and illumination, are not clearly shown. c. The local residential road radius as shown is too tight; the minimum radius is 420 feet. 8. The contents of the case file, WSC0017-98, are hereby incorporated by reference and made part of the record of this hearing. CONCLUSIONS A. Staff has concluded that the Water and Sewer Certificates of Availability may be approved in that it is consistent with the following criteria necessary to grant the permit as outlined in Section 14.18,070 of the Auburn City Code. 1. The proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development is consistent with city development standards, with the exceptions listed. 2. The development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this are as Single Family Residential, the proposed project is consistent with this designation. 3. The property cannot be annexed immediately. The property is more than ¼ mile from the existing city limits and is surrounded by properties within King County. B. Staff has evaluated the proposal and conduced that the property is too narrow to accommodate the standard road requirements for curves. The Ordinance No. 5288 September 13, 1999 Page 4 layout of the road as proposed is necessary in order to have it aligned with the road directly across the street, as requested by King County. 9. This project will require a modification to the standard radius of 429 feet, as allowed in Section 14.18.070. The modification can be approved in that it is consistent with the findings needed to grant modifications. The specific amount of modification will be determined and approved during design and permitting by the City Engineer. CONDITIONS 1. The access road to the project shall be constructed within the property boundaries in its entirety, or an easement on the adjacent property should be acquired. 2, Half-street improvements shall be provided for the development, as outlined in Section 2.06 of the Auburn Design and Construction Standards. 3. A modification to the city standards is needed to accept the horizontal road curves as designed. The City Engineer shall have the authority to approve the deviation pursuant to the Auburn Design and Construction Standards, and to determine and approve the amount of modification to be allowed. 4. The application shall sign an Annexation Agreement with the City. 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 sewer certificates be approved.
