RE. Letter of Intent for a Hazard Mitigation Grant
Dear Mr. Best:
Please accept this letter of intent and forward the City of Auburn an application for a Hazard Mitigation
Grant as authorized by Presidential Disaster Declaration(FEMA-1079-DR-WA).
We propose to use this grant for acquisition of chronically flooded property that is currently occupied by
an elderly, disabled widow On more than one occasion,the Auburn Fire Department had to rescue Mrs.
Neely from the flood that surrounds and invades her home.
The property is recognized as a priority site in several regional flood control and water quality plans and
projects. In fact, in the Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan, it is a suggested site for increased flood
storage from Mill Creek during flood events. The use of this land as a residence not only endangers life
and property, it also impedes the development of water quality and flood control.
The attached proposal explains the benefits and costs of the proposed grant application in more detail.
Please contact Tim Carlaw, Storm Drainage Engineer(206-804-5060), or me if you have any questions
or need more information.
Thank you in advance for your help and consideration.
Sincerely,
f /7 / ✓Gt

Hazard Mitigation Grant
Subject: Letter of Intent: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
Proposed Project: Acquisition of the Neely Property
PROJECT PROPOSED BY JURISDICTION Please include a brief project 1) description, 2)
identification of benefits, 3) estimation of cost, and 4) source of local share.
Project Description:
The City of Auburn 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 these funds to acquire the Neely property
The Neely property is an original Auburn homestead. The original homestead was settled in
1850 by Aaroon Neely and has remained in the Neely family ever since. Currently the property
has an area of 3/4 of one acre and has a single story, rambler styled home located on it. It is
located at 1508 West Main Street and is currently zoned for light industrial development.
The City of Auburn owns all of the property adjacent to the Neely homestead. It acquired the
adjacent property through the nonpayment of a sewer improvement district assessment. The
City plans to use portion of the adjacent land for stone drainage management.
For several months out the year, for the past twenty plus years,the property becomes flooded.
According to Mrs. Neely, she remains in the property until the flood water invades her heating
ducts. At that time she is forced to relocate. During the recent Thanksgiving flood she was
forced to vacate her home. During her absence, Mrs. Neely's property was looted twice. This
constant flooding makes the property functionally obsolete, it endangers life and property The
plight of the Neely family occasionally appears in local newspapers. Attached are two
newspaper articles which explain the continuing situation in more detail.
2. Reduction of Risk, Hardship, Loss, and Suffering:
Conditions on the Neely property satisfy the definition of a"blighted area"established by RCW
35 81 010 (2). This statute defines a blighted area as the existence of conditions that endanger
life or property by reasons of fire or other causes. It is property that retards the provision of
housing accommodations or constitutes a social liability and threat to public health, safety and
welfare. The continually flooded conditions of the Neely property endanger life. The number of
instances when the Fire Department had to rescue the occupants of the property indicates a social
liability and a menace to public health, safety and welfare. The property has been vandalized and
looted on occasion. All of these factors attest to its blighted condition.
The acquisition of the Neely property is recognized in drafts of the Mill Creek Basin Hood
Control Plan as a flood hazard reduction measure. The propose grant would enable the City to
purchase the property and remove the blighted conditions. Proceeds from the acquisition will
enable the current occupants of the property to relocate into decent, dry and affordable housing.
The vacated property would be protected and restored as flood storage and/or wetlands habitat.

Hazard Mitigation Grant
3. Benefits of Acquiring the Property
In addition to providing flood relief to the property owners, the Neely property is recognized as
one of the highest priority sites for the protection and restoration the Mill Creek Corridor. It is
included in several regional plans and projects designed to manage wetlands, aquatic resources
and water quality Attached is a letter from Jim Kramer, manager of the King County Surface
Water Management Division,that references the following plans and projects:
• King County Flood Hazard Reduction Plan: This planning document was prepared in
response to the 1990 flood disaster It recommends removal of the Neely residence as an
important flood reduction measure. It states that such action would "offer permanent, secure
protection of human health and safety" Attached is a copy of the referenced Flood Hazard
Reduction Plan.
• Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan: Flood control alternatives currently under
consideration include the removal of the Neely residences as a flood hazard reduction
measure. This Flood Plan cites the area as a site to store runoff during flood events.
• Mill Creek Water Quality (WO) Management Plan: The WQ Plan identifies the section of
Mill Creek that includes the Neely property as the highest priority, water quality problem in
this particular basin. It cites the area creates environmental problems regarding biological
oxygen demand levels during the summer months.
• Mill Creek Special Area Management Plan (SAMP): The draft SAMP prepared by the
Army Corps of Engineers identifies the central Mill Creek Corridor as wetlands and riparian
habitat of high value. It recommends the acquisition, protection and restoration of the entire
corridor, including the Neely property
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 funding
plans. The Neely property is also a potential site for inclusion in a Wetland/Aquatic Resource
Mitigation Bank. Proceeds from the sell of development rights, underwritten by property in this
mitigation bank, will buy, restore and improve wetlands. Assuming the price of development
rights is equivalent to the value of dry industrial property;the value of the development rights
generated by the Neely property should be approximately four times greater than its existent
value as chronically flooded land.
Finally, since the City would use Community Development Block Grant funds to match the
Hazard Mitigation Grant,the eventual use of the Neely property must benefit low income
residents. A suggested alternative to the cash purchase of development rights is the acquisition
of such rights through the generation of jobs for low income residents.
4. Estimated Value of the Property
The following represents the estimated value of the Neely property The figures are based on the
assessed value of the subject property and adjacent properties according to the King County tax
assessor. All of the other properties are owned by the City of Auburn. Based on the value of the
3

City's surrounding properties, the Neely property is worth approximately$1.50 per square foot.

5. Project Budget:
The project budget will ultimately be determined by an appraisal of the property and a price
negotiated with the property owners. The following budget is based on the estimated value of
the land plus the accessed value of the house It includes the estimated cost to relocate or
demolish the house. The City will provide at no cost the staff, equipment and supplies to
coordinate and administer the project.

Hazard Mitigation Grant
6. Source of Local Share:
The City of Auburn proposes to use a portion of its federal Community Development
Block Grant(CDBG) entitlement to provide a 25%match to the Hazard Mitigation
Grant. It is a CDBG eligible activity because it eliminates a blighted area. The
availability of these CDBG funds is contingent upon the approval of the federal budget.
In the event that CDBG funds are not available,the City will consider the use of other
local funding sources.

Auburn,WA 98001
Dear Mayor Booth:
Thank you for the opportunity you gave us to discuss flood relief options for our grandmother,Hazel
Neely We appear to all be iaagreement that a chronically flooded home Is not a safe or healthy.
environment for our elderly disabled grandmother.
8ow. . �rvuldtake .Q :=y;
Pin pointing the specific cause or agency(a)respratsibk for tie'incltased water•. . prdbk�s. . r. .
unnecessary time and.money away tm,dealmg with the real Issue at hand which is gets our
grandmother en to higher ground. The family of Hazel Neely Wouldd lace to work with ytitt ou what canb.e;
done to help solve her forced unreasonable living arrangement.
Our grandmothers home was looted twice during the most recent flooding. Understandably she is afraid to
return home. We realize burglary is a very common occurrence ttiai happens to most folks atone time or
another. However;it must be noted that the isolation that was created due'tcran elevated St away on one
side and an overpass on the other leaves the'botsetiiddar Addirdead'end street With no maws of
and a chronically flood damaged or currently flooding property and the house looks abandoned,even when
she is home. Her home and its conients'are all she has. Fiona waters have forced her from her home on
three occasions in the last two months. The heat can not be usedwhen the water reaches the top of the
floor boards of the house causing her to evacuate. She has been forced to stay with family members for
almost a month out of the last two months. She is temporarily living with her daughter(our mother)during
these trying times.
The family of Hazel Neely and herself agree that there are three possible solutions that would work toward
solving this concern:
1. Federal Buyout Assistance
A fair market value buyout would give Hazel Neely the financial ability to relocate to a safe place of her
own. We look forward to hearing back from State Representative,Jennifer Dunn on the possibilities with
this program.
2. Issue a Fill Permit
A fill permit would allow her to market her property as a good small industrial site. Hazel Neely would
like to remind the City of the sewer easement she allowed in place of the promise that this would increase
her property value in the future for this very purpose. The City was able to save a good sum of money not
having to"go the long way"for the short cut through her back yard. She was still required to pay almost
six thousand dollars for which she had to take out a loan and pay interest on. She would also like to
remind the City that the promised clean up after the"36"scorer main was plated within 12 feet of her
house left the beautiful soil my grandfather used to garden Cull of gravel:
Construction of a berm with a sump pump might be an alternative development strategy,but would be
unacceptible to most considering purchase of the property for commercial development An offer on the
property three years ago was contingent on a fill permit being issued. The purchaser was told,point blank,
•
by your previous City Engineer,Mary Seabrands that he would have to sue the City to ever get a fill
permit. That was more than the purchaser wanted to take on. A permit to El would be a must.
3. City Purchase for Intended Use
The City of Auburn could purchase the Neely property for fair market vabx,again allowing Hazel Neely
the financial ability to relocate to healthy living conditions. Tying the purchase of her property into
wetland enhancement,parks and recreation or other identifiable development programs could be a
win/win solution for both sides. We realize that the large adjacent property now owned by the City's
Sewer Division is a current debt due to the default of the previous owner not paying their share of the same
sewer L.I.D.our grandparents paid dearly for. Purchasing the less than ooe acre left of that large tract of
land would give the City control of the whole section while allowing our grandmother to move on to a
more humane living arrangement and a better quality of life.
In closing we would like to mention that even as early as August of this year our grandmothers house was
surrounded by water. This problem is not going away and continues to worsen with recent development in
the watershed. Even today water still surrounds the home long after the hot topic.of flooding is absent
from the news. Again,without taking the time and money involved in pointing the finger at all the -
agencies that are possibly involved with cause of the flooding we would ask that you,Mayor Booth take
the lead to follow upon the.possible solutions we discussed in our meeting en Tuesday,December t and
in-this letter.
Thank you again for your time and obvious care and concern for the citizens of your community.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Congresswoman Dunn, S/
7 1t'
I am writing this letter at the request of my grandmother Hazel Neely who is a voting resident in •.
district. She is a victim of chronic urban flooding. Her home of 45 years is located at the south west
corner of the crossing of State Route 167 and the West Main Street overpass that leads into downtown
Auburn. A summary of the problem will help you realize what our family has been up against.
The early 1970's brought the new elevated State Route 167 to the east of my grandparents back yard along
with a mountain of dirt to the north of their home which was used to build West Main Street overpass. The
innocent Mill Creek to the west was only beginning to see the effects of urban development.
A dead end road was the new means by which to access the Neely's how isolated property A State
judgment took a corner of their acre property The State never offered or required the purchase of the
home at that time. Grandmother complained some that she could now only see the top half of Mt.Rainier
and it sure would have been nice if that big street light wasn't running up the middle of it too. Grandfather
complained a bit about the large puddles in his front and back yard from the new run off from the freeway
He was also none to happy about the new erosion of his annual vegetable garden.
It went on like this for several years then closer to the 1980's the puddles didn't dry up like they used to.
The puddles became ponds and grew bigger every year Grandmother noticed a lot of ducks living in the
yard. Grandfather announced it would be another failed garden this year.
Then the City decided the easiest route for a new 36"sewer main was through the Neely's front yard. The
City said this would increase your property value in the future if you let us take this easement.Additionally
the City said they would not damage Grandfathers garden soil,that it would be an improvement to it.
Grandmother thought,that doesn't sound so had. Grandfather thought,I sure hope they're right.
Then later still Mill Creek could no longer take the filling of watershed areas up stream and started spilling
its banks. The 1990's have brought severe structural damage because every time it rains for more than a
few days the house is surrounded by water Grandmother started calling 911 a lot. Grandfather kept
saying it never used to flood like this!
It is 1995 and Grandmother is now alone without grandfather. She has been left with a home she can not
sell. She has special needs because she has lived 52 of her 75 years with the paralyzing effects of polio.
Her income consists of approximately five hundred dollars a month. Her home has not been habitable
since the end of October. The cost of flood insurance along with the consistently mounting preexisting
damages has precluded the sensible purchase of flood insurance. Also,the insurance agents she spoke to in
the past have told her that the home would have to be a total loss,washed away or collapsed. With urban
flooding this is not the case. She even saw flooding surrounding the'house as early as August this year,
which appears to be a direct result of the new super mall close by This year is unmatched in severity to
any other. This has definitely been the worst year yet with the recent effects of the super mall. In the
future years,who knows what the new horse racing track will do! During this last Thanksgiving flood she
was looted twice. I must confess the family of Grandmother is getting pretty tired of standing guard to this
man made mess.
My great grandfather helped to settle Auburn. The restored Neely Mansion on the edge of town toward
Black Diamond is a monument to that. My grandparents have lived and built on the very land my great
grandfather once owned. My grandparents have lived in the community and paid taxes in the City limits
their whole life. I ask of you,is it fair that a long standing citizen of the community in which you represent
take the loss of her home because of the condemnation forced upon her by many involved government
agencies? Your help could mean the difference in a safe and healthy quality of life for my grandmother.
Something must be done and it must be done soon! Mayor Charles Booth of Auburn suggested that you
might help locate federal funds allowing a buyout for relocation. The family of Hazel Neely would be
grateful for relief of this long lasting nightmare.
Thank you for your time and effort regarding this urgent request.
Respectfully,

The Honorable Charles Booth �7
Mayor, City of Auburn
25 West Main Street
Auburn, WA 98001
RE. Neely Property
Dear Mayor Booth:
I am writing to discuss the Neely property located at 1508 West Main Street in Auburn and the
Neely family's interest in selling that property to escape chronic flooding. This letter is
submitted in response to the City of Auburn Public Works bepartment's request for
information about relevant programs and projects in the area that support acquisition of the
property Any suggestions for possible approaches to provide relief to the Neely family and
benefit the Mill Creek Corridor are advisory only, since the Neely property is located within the
City of Auburn boundaries. Representatives of the Neely's have contacted my office and we
have been careful to note the City as the appropriate lead agency for any follow-up action.
I understand that the Neely family would prefer to sell the problem property and relocate the
elderly and disabled Mrs.Neely Teri Hutto and Troy Sperberg (Mrs.Neely's grandchildren)
have contacted King County Surface Water Management(SWM)Division staff for information
about the Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan and any programs that might be available to
purchase their property as a flood hazard reduction project. In addition, SWM Division staff
discussed this matter with Tim Carlaw from the City of Auburn's Public Works stormwater
program, who suggested that a brief summary of programs and projects about the importance
of this site to the Mill Creek Corridor, aside from the chronic flooding it experiences would
provide some helpful perspective. Such a summary is provided below Since flood hazard
reduction and protection of the Mill Creek Corridor complement each other, acquisition and
restoration of the Neely property may benefit all involved.
If such a purchase were to occur, funds would either come from federal, state, or local sources.
My understanding is that there are no currently funded and available federal buy-out programs.
A previous flood buy-out program, the "1362 Program," is discontinued. A new program
called "Flood Mitigation Assistance," created through amendments to the Flood Insurance
Reform Bill,that may support buy-outs will not be available until implementing regulations are
approved— expected in the spring of 1996. The only other source of potential funding is the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program,which must be triggered by a Presidential disaster
declaration. Even if these programs existed,there is usually a long period of evaluation

and qualification with no assurance that the Neely property would be eligible. Due to the
urgency associated with the Neely property, it may be worth considering relief for the Neely
property by acquiring it with local resources. Aside from providing flood relief to this property
and section of Mill Creek, this particular site is recognized in a number of ongoing regional,
cooperative plans and projects to manage wetland and aquatic resources and water quality
Although you may know of these, they are listed below and briefly described for your
information.
• Mill Creek Special Area Management Plan (SAMP'l: The draft SAMP identifies the central
Mill Creek Corridor as the highest value wetlands and riparian habitat, and recommends
protection and restoration of the entire corridor, including the Neely property
• Pilot Project Restoration Site for the SAMP. Conceptual restoration plans have been
prepared to serve as example pilot projects for the type of site restoration measures which
will be required under the SAMP The "Godeki North" and Neely properties comprise one
of the pilot project sites.
• Mill Creek Corridor Protection/Is/litigation Banking Program: To prepare for completion
and implementation of the SAMP, staff from Kent, Auburn, and King County are currently
discussing work on a Mill Creek Corridor Protection and Mitigation Bank Program, with an
Interlope'Agreement to establish, administer, and operate such a program. The Neely
property, located in the Corridor, would be a potential site for inclusion in a Wetland/
Aquatic Resource Mitigation Bank.
• The Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan: Parts of the Mill Creek Basin, particularly the
central corridor in the upstream portion of the Mill Creek valley floor, are being evaluated
in the Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan as places to store runoff during flood events. In
addition, draft flood control alternatives now under consideration specify the removal of the
Neely residence as a flood hazard reduction measure.
• The Mill Creek Water Ouality(WM Management Plan: The WQ Plan identifies the section
along Mill Creek which includes the Neely property as the highest priority water quality
problem in this basin (with a severe dissolved oxygen sag and high water temperatures and
biological oxygen demand levels in summer months), and recommends that restoration
measures be implemented for this entire reach.
• The Green River Ecosystem Restoration Program: This newly authorized program,
administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE),will ultimately fund
aquatic restoration projects throughout the Green River. The removal of the Neely
residence and restoration of the riparian wetland onsite would appear to be a qualified
project, although the timing and availability of COE funding is uncertain at this time.
The Honorable Charles Booth
January 17, 1996

Summary
Every one of these projects or plans recognizes the importance of the central Mill Creek Corridor,
as does the City of Auburn's Comprehensive Plan, in providing aquatic and wetland habitat, flood
attenuation, and water quality improvements. Furthermore, the Neely property is recognized as
one of the highest priority sites for the protection and restoration of the Mill Creek Corridor At
the same time, it is clear that the Neely family wants very much to sell the property This truly
could be a "win/win" situation, if there is the opportunity to act in a timely manner Because there
is no federal or state assistance available at this time, local funding options for acquisition of the
Neely property need to be considered if quick action is desired.
We clearly recognize that acquisition of this property is primarily a decision for the City of
Auburr: to make. If the City of Auburn were to decide in favor of some kind of acquisition for
purposes consistent with the projects and plans described above,King County would support that
decision given the regional importance of Mill Creek to the Green River Watershed. Further,we
would be willing to recognize purchase of the Neely property by the City of Auburn as a valid
flood control element, to be counted towards Auburn's overall contribution to implementation of
the Mill Creek Basin Flood Control Plan, now in preparation. Of course, we would also
recognize Auburn's contribution in subsequent regional funding plans for Mill Creek, such as a
Mitigation Bank, in the event the City acted alone in this purchase.
I am willing to discuss potential acquisition of the Neely property further if you are interested. In
addition, staff of King County SWM (as well as Auburn Public Works and Planning Department
staff) are working on the plans and projects described and could provide you with more detail if
you would like.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter Please contact Dave Clark, River Management
Section Manager, at 296-8388 if you would like to meet on this subject.
Sincerely,
iTunvt/Kramer anager

River: Mill Creek (Auburn)
Reach: Corridor (Map Panel 5, Project #607)
Problem
Frequent inundation damages residential and agricultural property
and prevents safe travel on several roads These inundation
problems are related to several restricted culverts along Mill
Creek (Auburn) . In addition, one residence is frequently
inundated by these flood waters.
Possible Solutions
* Conveyance Improvements: Local water surface elevations could
be lowered by improving bridges, culverts, and other existing
limitations to channel conveyance.
* Wetland Enhancements: Hydric soils along the valley floor
could be made to function more effectively as wetlands.
* Relocate Individual Residence: This would offer permanent,
secure protection of human health and safety.
Preliminary Recommendation
Improve local conveyance and relocate one home.
Issues for Further Study
* Because this project would improve local conveyance and lessen
flood storage, it would increase downstream flood peak flows.
Therefore, construction of the Mill Creek Corridor project
should not proceed before the Mill Creek Outlet project is
built and can accept increased Mill Creek flows without causing
downstream damages.
* Funding shares should be negotiated between Auburn, Kent, and
King County. Each jurisdiction governs roughly one third of
1 the basin.
