The hearing centered on the proposed Auslan Acres subdivision, a 98-unit single-family attached townhome development on land zoned R1-6. Key discussions addressed transportation concurrency and infrastructure improvements, specifically the extension of local roads, widening 88th Street, and a cost-shared traffic signal at 88th Street and 94th Avenue. County staff and the applicant also responded to public concerns regarding local school capacity, traffic congestion, and the geotechnical stability of the soil near an existing wastewater pump station on the property.

What was said
56:18 does not have a certificate of authorization to operate in the state of Washington. - That's interesting. - And it's very interesting and you can verify that. Consequentially though, the sampling that they did, the sample was conducted at 14 feet. The ground sampling or the groundwater is at approximately 18 feet, but they only dug to 14 feet and they classified it as Class D stiff soil. And so our concerns here is that one, we presently have seismic soil with industrial equipment that is presently six feet from our home and however much the setback is gonna be for the new homes that are gonna be constructed. But I just want to make sure that that seismic soil is addressed properly. And then in addition to that in 2017,
57:13 there was an un-remediated 300,000 gallon wastewater spill at the Auslan Acres subdivision or the proposed subdivision that was not reported to the Department of Ecology as required by state statute of Clark by Clark Regional Wastewater District. Our challenge that we have is that they excavated near our home and created a breathing hazard for my spouse that we are now ongoing treatment for. And we are concerned because we have confirmation from the wastewater district that they have not done any further soil testing and they didn't do any form of remediation while disturbing that soil that can create bio aerosols. Because in our area, of course, there are bacterias that are more resistant because of our temperate climate that can survive for decades. - If I could kind of interrupt. - Yes, please. - The points you're raising about this spill
58:13 are really unrelated to the approval criteria that I have to evaluate as to whether to allow these lots to be created. - Okay. - This developer didn't cause this. It's not on this property. - It is on this property. It is on this property. - But it doesn't relate to any of the approval criteria.
