TO: Kent City Council
SUBJECT: Public Hearing on the Resolution Concurring in Auburn
Annexation of the Bridges - Adopt
MOTION: I move to adopt Resolution No. 2068 concurring in the City of
Auburn's annexation of "The Bridges" neighborhood effective January 1,
2024, and authorizing the Mayor to take all action and sign all documents
necessary to complete the annexation, subject to final terms acceptable to
the Economic and Community Development Director and City Attorney.
SUMMARY: Since 2019, representatives from the cities of Kent and Auburn have
been working together to allow the City of Auburn to annex The Bridges
neighborhood ("the Bridges").
The cities have elected to proceed with the annexation method provided for through
RCW 35.10.217(2), which provides that an annexation may become effective upon
each city adopting a resolution-Auburn, a resolution declaring its intent to annex
The Bridges, and Kent, a resolution concurring in Auburn's annexation of The
Bridges after first holding a public hearing on the annexation. The public hearing on
The Bridges annexation has been set before the Kent City Council at a special
meeting tonight at 5:00 p.m.
Notice was mailed to all owners of property within the annexation area on
November 6, 2023, which was at least 15 days before the date of the hearing. On
November 6, 2023, the City Clerk also mailed notice to those who own property
within 1,000 feet of the annexation area. In addition, the City Clerk provided for
notice to be published through the Kent Reporter on Friday, November 10, 2023.
Finally, staff within the City's Economic and Community Development Department
provided for notice to be posted at The Bridges on November 15, 2023, advising of
the date and time for the annexation public hearing.
Once the public hearing is opened, staff will make a short presentation and
members of the public will be invited to provide public comment concerning the
annexation. At the close of that public hearing, Council will be asked to adopt a
resolution concurring in Auburn's annexation of The Bridges, effective January 1,
2024, or such later date as Kent and Auburn may agree.

*A S M IN G T O N
DATE: November 28, 2023
TO: Kent City Council
SUBJECT: Convey Sensitive Area Tracts at The Bridges — Authorize
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign a Quit Claim Deed
conveying 59.25 acres of sensitive area tracts in The Bridges neighborhood
to Copper Creek (Auburn) Homeowners Association, subject to all existing
development and land use restrictions of record and final terms acceptable
to the Economic and Community Development Director and City Attorney.
SUMMARY: Since 2019, representatives from the cities of Kent and Auburn have
been working together to allow the City of Auburn to annex The Bridges
neighborhood ("the Bridges"). At the time The Bridges was developed through a
Planned Unit Development ("PUD"), 59.25 acres of sensitive area tracts were
dedicated to the City of Kent.
The sensitive area tracts were established to protect wetlands and associated
buffers in accordance with the City of Kent's Critical Areas Ordinance in effect at the
time The Bridges PUD was originally submitted to the City in 2004. The easement
recorded on the face of the PUD contains broad limitations against future
development or disturbance of vegetation within these tracts.
Although annexation typically transfers ownership of publicly owned tracts to the
receiving city, the City of Auburn had advised that it would not accept the sensitive
area tracts through annexation. As such, on January 17, 2023, the Kent City
Council adopted and declared through Resolution No. 2053 that The Bridges'
Sensitive Area Tracts were surplus to the City's needs.
Given the significant development and land use restrictions imposed against the
Sensitive Area Tracts, and the legal responsibility of the owner to abate any use of
those tracts that runs contrary to those restrictions, the Sensitive Area Tracts have
little to no independent value.
The required wetland protection measures and maintenance responsibilities will not
change upon the transfer of the Sensitive Area Tracts to another entity. Instead,
the limitations will run with the land and become the obligation of any future owner.
To date, only Copper Creek (Auburn) Homeowners Association has expressed an
interest in taking on this obligation.
Packet Pg. 13
4.A
To support the City of Auburn's annexation of the The Bridges, City staff
recommends Council transfer the Sensitive Area Tracts at The Bridges to Copper
Creek (Auburn) Homeowners Association, conveying with the tracts all development
and use restrictions of record.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.

*A S M IN G T O N
DATE: November 28, 2023
TO: Kent City Council
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with City of Auburn for The Bridges
Annexation - Authorize
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign an Interlocal Agreement
with the City of Auburn in support of Auburn's annexation of "'The Bridges"
neighborhood, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the
Economic and Community Development Director and City Attorney.
SUMMARY: Since 2019, representatives from the cities of Kent and Auburn have
worked cooperatively together and determined that it would be advantageous to
both cities for The Bridges neighborhood ("The Bridges") to be annexed to the City
of Auburn. The Bridges is a community located on Lea Hill that is within the
municipal limits of the City of Kent but is entirely surrounded by the City of Auburn.
The cities have elected to proceed with the annexation method provided for through
RCW 35.10.217(2), which provides that an annexation may become effective upon
each city adopting a resolution-Auburn, a resolution declaring its intent to annex
The Bridges, and Kent, a resolution concurring in Auburn's annexation of The
Bridges after first holding a public hearing on the annexation. Tonight, the Kent City
Council will hold the necessary public hearing. At the close of that public hearing,
Council will be asked to adopt a resolution concurring in Auburn's annexation of The
Bridges, effective January 1, 2024, or such later date as Kent and Auburn may
agree.
Separate from the formal annexation process itself, there are a number of other
actions that need to occur related to annexation, including the transfer of right-of-
way and other property rights; the transfer of records, including records related to
infrastructure, land use, permits, code enforcement, animal licensing, etc.;
determining how building and land use permit applications will be processed
between now and when the annexation takes effect; and the transfer of existing
franchises within the annexation area to Auburn. This interlocal agreement outlines
how these various transfers will occur.
The Auburn City Council authorized its Mayor to sign this Interlocal Agreement at its
meeting on October 16, 2023.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
