Public Hearing for TIP Modifications (Gaub)

Department:
Public Works
Attachments:
No Attachments Av ailable
Budget Impact:
Current Budget: $0
Proposed Revision: $0
Revised Budget: $0
Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to hold a public hearing in consideration of the modification of the 2021-2026
Transportation Improvement Program. See Resolution No. 5576 for further action on this
item.
Background Summary:
Changes to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) require a public hearing and adoption
of the change by resolution of the City Council. This TIP modification is needed to update the
TIP to reflect recent grant awards as follows:
Additions:
TIP P-14: 4th Street SE Preservation ($2.91M) – This project will replace pavement and
utilities on 4th Street SE from Auburn Way South to L Street SE. A pavement grind and
overlay is planned between Auburn Way South and D Street SE. Full depth pavement
reclamation is planned from D Street SE to L Street SE. The project will also include
replacement of City utilities, removal of sidewalk obstructions, replacement of sidewalk
and curb ramps as needed to address ADA requirements, and other improvements.
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant funding for the project was awarded in
November of 2020.
TIP R-10: High Friction Surface Treatment ($0.42M) – The project will install a high
friction surface treatment (HFST) at six different curved roadway segments throughout
the City. The HFST involves the application of fine/rough aggregate to the pavement
using a polymer binder to increase pavement friction. The higher pavement friction
helps motorists maintain better control in both dry and wet driving conditions, reducing
the potential for a crash. WSDOT administered grant funding for the project was
awarded in November of 2020.
Modifications:
TIP P-1: Arterial Street Preservation Program ($2.2M/year) – a portion of the 2021 and 2022
funds from this program were reallocated to P-14 to provide the required local match for the
grant funds.

V2-20 Staff Report
RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION
STAFF REPORT
Right-of-Way (ROW) Vacation Number V2-20
Applicant: Muckleshoot Development Corporation
Property Location: Right-of-Way located at the Alley north of Auburn Way South,
between Dogwood St SE and Fir St SE.
Description of right-of-way:
This ROW proposed for vacation consists of the Alley north of Auburn Way South,
between Dogwood St SE and Fir St SE. The proposed ROW is adjacent to Parcel No.
2021059024 on the south side and Parcel Nos. 2599000010 through 2599000080 on
the north side, and bordered by City right-of-way to the east and west. The total
proposed area of ROW for vacation is approximately 9485± square feet.
The proposed ROW vacation area was originally dedicated to the City of Auburn for
alley purposes Quit Claim Deed under Recording Number 5881425, dated May 20,
1965, Records of King County, Washington.
See Exhibits “A” and “B” for legal description and survey.
Proposal:
Muckleshoot Development Corporation is proposing that the Alley be vacated so that
they can incorporate the area into development of the property to the south on Parcel
No 2021059024. If approved, the vacated area would become a drive aisle for access
to/from a new gas station, convenience/grocery store, and car wash (Project). The
Project includes public improvements that support the alley vacation and help improve
safety and traffic operations: closure of two driveways on Dogwood Street SE along the
Project site and access restrictions to the existing and new driveways to the Project site
on Auburn Way South.
In addition the applicant has agreed to install a 7-foot tall “high quality” fence on the
north side of the proposed alley vacation with gates for the neighboring properties to the
north that desire access to the vacated alley area. With the Project, the applicant
agrees to install other measures including landscaping on the south side of the alley
and north side of the Project to mitigate and reduce noise as well as reduce or avoid
graffiti consistent with Planning and Development comments.

January 4, 2021
V2-20 Staff Report
See the attached Site Plan for additional Project details associated with the proposed
vacation.
Applicable Policies & Regulations:
• RCW’s applicable to this situation - meets requirements of RCW 35.79.
• MUTCD standards - not affected by this proposal.
• City Code or Ordinances - meets requirements of ACC 12.48.
• Comprehensive Plan Policy - not affected.
• City Zoning Code - not affected.
Public Benefit:
• Vacated Right-of-Way areas typically have a financial benefit to the general
public because the vacated areas are subject to property taxes. In this case, the
vacated area would likely become part of a Muckleshoot Indian Tribe parcel and
therefore it is not known at this time if the vacated area would be subject to
property taxes.
• The street vacation decreases the Right-of-Way maintenance obligation of the
City.
The street vacation supports closure, restricted access, and consolidation of access
driveways to the applicant’s Project site that will improve safety and traffic operations at
the intersection of Dogwood Street SE and Auburn Way South.
Discussion:
The vacation application was circulated to Puget Sound Energy (PSE), Comcast,
CenturyLink, and City staff.
1. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) – PSE has underground electrical facilities and will
require an easement be retained across the proposed vacation area.
2. Comcast – Comcast does not have any facilities in the alley and do not require
an easement.
3. CenturyLink – Comments from CenturyLink were received requesting an
easement be reserved for facilities currently located in the right-of-way.
4. Engineering – Access to the alley by properties abutting the north side of the
ROW shall be maintained and access easements required.
5. Transportation – Proposal by the applicant to make the vacated alley area a drive
aisle with a two-way (ingress and egress) driveway at Dogwood Street SE and a
one-way (egress only) driveway at Fir Street SE is acceptable to the City.
6. Planning – Should the city staff support the vacation of the public alley, the city
remains concerned about increased proximity of commercial development and
impacts/disturbance to the adjacent residences to the north. The city seeks
Page 34 of 111
3 of 5
January 4, 2021
V2-20 Staff Report
measures comparable to those standards generally applied and based on city
codes, as follows:
a. Per ACC 18.50.040(A), a 10-foot landscape buffer is typically required
along the north property line abutting residential properties. The applicant
shall make an effort to incorporate a minimum 10-foot landscaping where
practical, along the northern boundary of the site, including a mixture of
trees, shrubs, and ground cover. It is recognized that such a landscape
buffer may be impractical due to the proposed development configuration
of the site. Where this is not practical, a reduced width of dense
landscaping or similar treatment with limited interruptions would provide
better compatibility with the residential uses.
b. A screening wall or fence shall be provided along the new north property
line. The screening shall be a minimum of six feet high and be comprised
of a material acceptable to the City. While a chain-link fence with slats as
proposed may provide partial screening, a higher quality material is
recommended for use, such as a solid wood fence, vinyl, or concrete, or a
fence and hedge combination. The purpose of this requirement is to
provide higher quality design appearance and more complete privacy for
the abutting residential uses.
c. Per ACC 18.55.030, any outdoor lighting fixtures or building mounted
fixtures located within 50 feet of the abutting residential uses to the north,
shall be limited to 16 feet in height and shielded. The purpose of this
requirement is to limit any light impacts to the abutting residential uses.
d. Because the alley vacation will result in increased proximity of large
commercial trucks and queueing for car wash, the applicant needs to
provide additional information as to how noise impacts to the adjacent
residential uses are going to be mitigated. Particular attention needs to be
focused on ensuring the abutting residential uses aren’t negatively
impacted by increases in noise from traffic/queueing, car wash and
vacuum equipment, and customer’s vehicle audio systems.
7. Water – No comments. An easement is not needed as there are no water
facilities.
8. Sewer – No comments. An easement is not needed as there are no sewer
facilities.
9. Storm – No comments. An easement is not needed as there are no storm
facilities.
10. Fire – No comments.
11. Solid Waste – No comments.
12. Police – No comments.
13. Streets – No comments.
14. Construction –No comments.
15. Innovation and Technology – No comments

V2-20 Staff Report
Assessed Value:
ACC 12.48 states “The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the
city be compensated for the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed
one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated, except in the event the subject
property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or have been part of a
dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an
amount equal to the full value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall
estimate the value of the right-of-way to be vacated based on the assessed values of
comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is determined by
the city engineer to be greater than $2,000, the applicant will be required to provide the
city with an appraisal by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the
expense of the applicant. The city reserves the right to have a second appraisal
performed at the city’s expense.”
RCW 35.79.030 states the vacation “shall not become effective until the owners of
property abutting upon the street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shall compensate
such city or town in an amount which does not exceed one-half the appraised value of
the area so vacated. If the street or alley has been part of a dedicated public right-of-
way for twenty-five years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were
acquired at public expense, the city or town may require the owners of the property
abutting the street or alley to compensate the city or town in an amount that does not
exceed the full appraised value of the area vacated.”
An appraisal by an MAI appraiser of the subject right-of-way was required to be
submitted by the applicant. The appraisal was reviewed and found to be acceptable.
The appraisal values the right-of-way in an “As-Is Land Value” at $43,000.00. The right-
of-way has been right-of-way for more than 25 years and was acquired for alley
purposes through Quit Claim Deed under Recording Number 5881425, dated May 20,
1965, Records of King County, Washington.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the street vacation be granted subject to the following
conditions:
1. An easement shall be reserved for Puget Sound Energy electric facilities.
2. An easement shall be reserved for CenturyLink telecommunications facilities.
3. An access easement shall be reserved for all properties abutting the north
boundary of the right-of-way.
4. Applicant shall construct public improvements required to close the first two
driveways north of the intersection with Auburn Way South on the east side of
Dogwood Street SE and construct a new driveway to Dogwood Street SE at the
existing alley in accordance with the attached site plan.
Page 36 of 111

V2-20 Staff Report
5. Applicant shall construct improvements to restrict existing and new driveways
along the Project site along Auburn Way South to right-in/right-out in accordance
with the attached site plan.
6. Applicant shall construct and install a 7-foot tall “high quality” fence on the north
boundary of the vacated right-of-way, including appropriate gates for accessibility
by properties abutting the north boundary of the right-of-way.
7. Applicant shall construct and install an acoustic CMU wall and landscaping on a
portion of the south boundary of the vacated right-of-way in accordance with the
attached site plat to provide effective noise mitigation.
8. Staff recommends that compensation for the full appraised value of the right-of-
way in the amount of $43,000.00 be required as it has been ROW for more than
25 years and the City has incurred cost for maintenance of the alley.
9. Completion Condition Nos. 4 through 8 above shall be accomplished by
December 31, 2021 or the vacation shall be null and void.

Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 6811.
Background Summary:
This ordinance amends Ordinance 6763, which the City Council adopted on January 4, 2021.
Ordinance 6763 adopted several code provisions. Some code provisions adopted the latest
state building codes, which the Washington State Building Code Council periodically updates.
Some provisions revised various city codes related to building, but were not provisions
adopted by the State Building Code Council. Some provisions moved city code sections from
one chapter to another. And some provisions of the ordinance clarified current city codes
related to building.
The effective date for Ordinance 6763 was set as the date the state’s new building codes
were to go into effect, February 21, 2021. The State Building Code Council had already
postponed that effective date once due to the pandemic. Recently, they did so again; moving
the date from February 21 to July 1, 2021. This extension means that the city will adopt the
new (2018) state building codes prior to the codes becoming effective. Ordinance 6763 will
become effective (on February 21) before the new state building codes do (on July 1).
Ordinance 6811 remedies this situation by revising the effective date for Ordinance 6763.
Instead of revising the effective date from February 21 to July 1, 2021, the amendment
designates the ordinance’s effective date to coincide with whatever date the Building Code
Council adopts as the effective date of the new state building codes. This insures that if the
state building code council again revises the effective date of the state codes, the city
councils will not need to do the same.
All other sections of Ordinance 6763 remain the same.

Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to adopt Resolution No. 5576.
Background Summary:
Resolution No. 5576 authorizes City Council to adopt modifications to the 2021-2026
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The State law that requires the TIP to be
updated and adopted on an annual basis also requires a public hearing for TIP modifications.
The current TIP was adopted in June 2020. This proposed TIP modification is needed to
reflect recent grant awards in November of 2020 as follows:
Additions:
TIP P-14: 4th Street SE Preservation ($2.91M) – This project will replace pavement and
utilities on 4th Street SE from Auburn Way South to L Street SE. A pavement grind and
overlay is planned between Auburn Way South and D Street SE. Full depth pavement
reclamation is planned from D Street SE to L Street SE. The project will also include
replacement of City utilities, removal of sidewalk obstructions, replacement of sidewalk
and curb ramps as needed to address ADA requirements, and other improvements.
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant funding for the project was awarded in
November of 2020.
TIP R-10: High Friction Surface Treatment ($0.42M) – The project will install a high
friction surface treatment (HFST) at six different curved roadway segments throughout
the City. The HFST involves the application of fine/rough aggregate to the pavement
using a polymer binder to increase pavement friction. The higher pavement friction
helps motorists maintain better control in both dry and wet driving conditions, reducing
the potential for a crash. WSDOT administered grant funding for the project was
awarded in November of 2020.
Modifications:
TIP P-1: Arterial Street Preservation Program ($2.2M/year) – a portion of the 2021 and
2022 funds from this program were reallocated to P-14 to provide the required local
match for the grant funds.

City Council to adopt Resolution No. 5581.
Background Summary:
On May 31, 2020, Governor Inslee issued Proclamation Number 20-25.4, providing for
Transition from “Stay Home – Stay Healthy” to his “Safe Start – Stay Healthy” County-by-
County Phased Reopening. In accordance with the Governor’s Safe Start Reopening Plan, on
June 22, 2020, City of Auburn adopted Resolution 5533, which temporarily designated a
virtual location for Regular, Special and Study Session Meetings of the City Council and of the
Committees, Boards and Commissions of the City until King County entered into Phase
Three of the Governor’s Safe Start Reopening Plan. On January 11, 2021, Governor Inslee
issued A Healthy Washington – Roadmap to Recovery, an updated COVID-19 phased
recovery plan, which created a new two phase regional recovery plan, replacing the
Governor’s 4 phased Safe Start Reopening plan. The new regional recovery system aims to
safely ease some restrictions while also maintaining crucial hospital capacity, ensuring care
for Washingtonians that need it and paving the way for economic recovery. At this time, it is
unknown when the Puget Sound region, and the City of Auburn specifically, will transition into
a phase that would permit in-person governmental agency meetings. Therefore, it is
appropriate for the City of Auburn to modify its public meeting language to conform to the new
recovery plan and designate all public meeting forums as virtual locations until the Governor
authorizes in-person meetings.
