3 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON, APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF A 18-LOT SINGLE-
FAMILY SUBDIVISION TO BE KNOWN AS "VELVET SQUARE" LOCATED
4 NORTH OF 21ST STREET S.E. , EAST OF "M" STREET S.E. , WITHIN THE
5 CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON.
6 WHEREAS, Application No. PLT0002-93 , dated October 27 ,
7 1993 , has been submitted to the City of Auburn, Washington by
8 STOBIE & ASSOCIATES. , requesting approval of a Preliminary
9 Plat for an 18-lot single-family subdivision to be known as
10 "Velvet Square" located north of 21st Street S. E, east of "M"
11 Street S.E. , within the City of Auburn; and
12 WHEREAS, said request above referred to was referred to
13 the Hearing Examiner for study and public hearing thereon; and
14 WHEREAS, pursuant to staff review, the Hearing Examiner
15 conducted a public hearing to consider said petition in the
16 Council Chambers of the Auburn City Hall on February 15, 1994 ,
17 at 7 : 00 p.m. , at the conclusion of which the Hearing Examiner
18 recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat, based upon the
19 following Findings of Fact and Conclusions, to-wit:
20
21 FINDINGS OF FACT
22
1. The applicant, Stobie and Associates, through its
23 engineer, Andy Rykels, P.E. , requests preliminary plat
approval of an 18 lot single-family subdivision.

1 2 . The subject property is 4 . 33 acres in size and is located
2 north of 21st Street S. E. , east of "M" Street S.E. , and
west of the bowling alley.
3 3 . The subject property is currently vacant, but is zoned R-
4 4 , multi-family.
5 4 . The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site for
multi-family uses. Existing zoning and land uses in the
6 vicinity include C-1, commercial to the north; R-2 ,
single-family to the south; C-1, commercial to the east;
7 and R-2 , single-family to the west.
5. The plat will be provided access with an existing "stub"
8 street which intersects with 21st Street S. E. The "stub"
9 is not constructed; however, its right-of-way was
dedicated in 1957 as part of an adjacent subdivision.
10 6. The street which will serve the proposed division will
11 terminate in a cul-de-sac. The length of the street
measured from the north right-of-way to the center of the
12 cul-de-sac is 607 feet. If measured to the nearest
radius of the cul-de-sac, the length is 562 feet, but if
13 measured to the outer edge of the cul-de-sac the length
is 652 feet.
14 7 . The Land Division Ordinance limits the length of cul-de-
15 sacs to not more than 600 feet. However, the Land
Division Ordinance does not stipulate how the length is
16 to be measured. Accordingly, the proposed plat meets the
requirement of the Zoning Ordinance particularly when one
17 considers that due to the existing zoning up to 78 units
could be developed on the site.
18 8 . Single-family uses are permitted in multi-family zones
19 pursuant to Zoning Code Section 18 . 18 . 020 (A) . However, a
restriction should be placed on the plat which would
20 preclude future conversions to multi-family uses. Any
future multi-family use would not be compatible with the
21 plat as proposed or the existing single-family
neighborhood adjacent to the site.
22
9. There is illustrated on the plat a "Tract All which is
23 intended to be a storm drainage infiltration area. This
tract should be designed, screened, and landsdaped to be
24 compatible with a single-family neighborhood and should
be dedicated to the City.

1 10. There are existing utility, ingress, and egress easements
2 which will underlie the proposed right-of-way. These
should be removed to alleviate future ownership concerns.
3 11. The utility and traffic studies done as part of the
environmental checklist indicate a lack of an adverse
4 impact to the public infrastructure.
5 12 . At the time of the public hearing, an adjoining neighbor
6 expressed concern with regard to the adequacy of the
width of the ingress and egress. In response, the City
7 indicated that the 50 ft. right-of-way is the standard
residential street right-of-way. The City also indicated
8 that the Fire Department has reviewed the application.
9 13 . The staff report with its recommendation of conditional
approval is incorporated herein by reference as those set
10 forth in full.
11
12 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
13
14 1. The Land Division Ordinance sets forth criteria which
must be established prior to the time that a preliminary
15 plat may be approved.
16 2 . The Ordinance requires that adequate provisions are made
for public health, safety, and general welfare, and for
17 streets, alleys, or other public ways. Adequate
provisions have been made concerning access and
18 utilities. Due to the small size of the plat, parks and
schools will not be adversely impacted.
19 3 . The proposed subdivision must conform to the general
20 purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. A portion of the
Comprehensive Plan, Goal 16, attempts to conserve
21 existing single-family neighborhoods while promoting the
development of new single-family neighborhoods.
22 Accordingly, the proposed subdivision conforms to the
Comprehensive Plan.
23 4 . There are no other specific plans which apply to the
24 proposal...

1 5. The plat provides convenient travel and promotes the
2 effective use of land in accordance with Section
17 . 02 . 030 of the Land Division Ordinance.
3 6. The plat illustrates that it either meets or is capable
4 of meeting the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
together with the City's engineering standards.
5 7. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed
6 subdivision have been mitigated such that the preliminary
plat will not have an unacceptable adverse impact upon
7 the quality of the environment.
8
9 For each of the above stated reasons, the recommendation
10 of the Hearing Examiner to the Auburn City Council on the
11 application for a Preliminary Plat is approved and confirmed.
12 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,
13 WASHINGTON, IN A REGULAR MEETING DULY ASSEMBLED, HEREWITH
14 RESOLVES THAT:
15 Section 1. The above cited Hearing Examiner's Findings
16 and Conclusions are herewith approved and incorporated in this
17 Resolution.
18 Section 2 . The Preliminary Plat of "Velvet Square" , an
19 18-lot single-family subdivision containing 4 . 33 acres,
20 located north of 21st Street and legally described on attached
21 Exhibit "A" , is approved.
22 Section 3. Restrictions shall be recorded on the final
23 plat that would allow only single-family homes, and its
24 accessory uses and/or structures on each lot.
