AND EXTENDING SOUTH TO THE KING/PIERCE COUNTY LINE. WHEREAS, Application No. PLT0006-90, dated June 7, 1990, has been submitted to the City of Auburn, Washington, by HENDERSON DEVELOPMENT, INC. requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat of Lakeland Hills Division #13 consisting of 65 lots and containing 28.5± acres be known as "LAKELAND HILLS" located east of and adjacent to the City of Pacific city limits at approximately 52nd Street S.E. and extending south to the King/Pierce County line, hereinafter described in Section 1 of this Resolution; and WHEREAS, said request above referred to, was referred to the Hearing Examiner for study and public hearing thereon; and WHEREAS, the Hearing Examiner based upon staff review, held a public hearing to consider said petition in the Council Chambers of the Auburn City Hall, on April 21, 1992, at 7:00 p.m., at the conclusion of which the Hearing Examiner recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat, based upon the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions, to-wit: ~~~ ~~ ~~d Resolution No. 2316 May 26, 1992 Page 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant, Henderson Development Inc., through its agent, Kenneth Kinared, applies for preliminary plat approval for Lakeland Hills Division No. 13. The proposal is for preliminary plat approval of a 65 lot subdivision located on a site approximately 28.5 acres in size. 2. The subject site is located east of and adjacent to the City of Pacific city limits at approximately 52nd Street S.E. in the City of Auburn and extending south to the King/Pierce County line. 3. The subject site, which is currently vacant, is zoned R- 2, Single Family Residential and is so designated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Surrounding zoning and land uses in the vicinity include R-4, vacant to the north; Pierce County zoning, vacant, to the south; R-2, Single Family to the east; and R-2, vacant to the west. 4. This application is brought at the same time as a Surface Mining Permit for the excavation of material to accommodate the construction of this Division and Divisions #9, #10, #12 and #14 which is being processed as a separate preliminary plat. 5. The large scale development within Auburn known as Lakeland Hills encompasses approximately 458 acres. As of this date, there have been seven plats approved which contain 780 lots. There are four divisions, Division numbers 5-8, which have received preliminary plat approval but which have not yet received final plat approval. 6. The City determined in its review of this project that a previously issued Environmental Impact Statement dated October 5, 1981 contained insufficient information to evaluate the traffic impacts of this proposal. Accordingly, a new Environmental Checklist was prepared containing a description of the environmental impacts of the requested preliminary plat. The City's review of the environmental checklist resulted in the issuance of a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance containing 23 mitigating conditions. Resolution No. 2316 May 26, 1992 Page 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 7. The City Council adopted the Lakeland Hills Special Planning Area Plan as an element of the Comprehensive Plan on April 8, 1988. The Special Planning Area is designed to provide a mechanism for detailed planning of large areas under single or coordinated management. Therefore, in addition to the guidance as set forth in the City of Auburn Comprehensive Plan, the Lakeland Hills Plan Element provides long-term predictability both to the citizens of the City of Auburn and to the developer in terms of future planning, zoning, subdivision, and development decisions. 8. After the adoption of the Lakeland Hills Plan the City has approved utility plans for sewer, water, and storm drainage for the entire development of Lakeland Hills. The plats proposed in this preliminary plat are consistent with the utility plans already approved. 9. Plans are being completed for the construction of a 5 acre community park to be located adjacent to Division No. 6 as well as a park next to the Stuck River. Construction of the 5 acre park is anticipated to commence this summer while the Riverfront Park will be constructed in 1993. 10. An arterial which will connect the East Valley Highway to the uplands of Lakeland Hills, Lakeland Hills Way, is currently under construction. This arterial will provide access to Lakeland Hills and will eliminate the current more limited access currently provided to the area by one street known as Mill Pond Drive. 11. The Stuck River Bridge has been replaced by a new 4-lane bridge and the Lakeland Hills developers have deposited $200,000 with the City for the new development's share of the cost of the bridge. 12. The City of Auburn's Comprehensive Plan seeks to encourage the retention of vegetation while retaining areas with slopes in excess of 25~ as open space to protect against erosion and land slide hazard. The City also seeks to develop an efficient collector system for traffic. 13. The Lakeland Hills Special Planning Area Plan seeks to provide for considerable park land for Lakeland Hills residents while creating an efficient street pattern and improving the existing traffic flow. Resolution No. 2316 May 26,1992 Page 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 14. At the time of the Hearing Examiner public hearing, the testimony from interested members of the public related primarily to concerns associated with the impacts of the surface mining permit. No public objection was expressed to the preliminary plat application. 15. The staff report, with its recommendation of conditional approval, is incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The Land Division Ordinance which sets forth a series of criteria which must be established by the evidence before a preliminary plat can be .approved within the City of Auburn. 2. The first of these criteria is that adequate provision has been made for the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Auburn. The preliminary plat as submitted by the applicant and as supplemented by the recommended conditions both contained in the staff report and in the MDNS establishes that the applicant has made adequate provisions. 3. The proposed subdivision conforms to the general purposes of the Comprehensive Plan in that the Plan designates the plat for single family residential uses. 4. The applicant must establish that the proposed subdivision is in compliance with the general purposes of other applicable policies or plans adopted by the City Council. This criteria is established by the evidence as the preliminary plat application is consistent with the Lakeland Hills Special Planning Area Element. 5. The preliminary plat complies with the general purposes of the Land Division Ordinance as set forth in Section 17.02.030. 6. Finally, the plat meets or exceeds the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and is consistent with the City's environmental standards. Resolution No. 2316 May 26, 1992 Page 4 1 7. The environmental impacts of the proposed subdivision 2 have been adequately mitigated. 3 4 For each of the above reasons, the recommendation of the 5 Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City Council on the application 6 for a Preliminary Plat is approved and confirmed. 7 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, 8 WASHINGTON, IN A REGULAR MEETING DULY ASSEMBLED, HEREWITH 9 RESOLVES THAT: 10 Section 1.
