NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
HANSEN -SEWER REGULATION -AMENDMENT
Gilbert Alvarado,Community Development Director,stated that Mick Hansen is proposing to plat a 40 acre
parcel of property located on the south side of I-90 across from the Moses Lake Golf Course and Country
Club.The Citydoes not have sewer and water to this property and extending those services is not anticipated
within the next 5 years.The Council previously granted a request to build on unplatted property without the
requirement to plat.The property is now being platted and the platting process requires that plats be served
with City sewer.Since sewer is not available,the developer is requesting a change to the Municipal Code to
allow an exception to the requirement to serve new plats with City sewer.
Mick Hansen,owner of the property,stated that he would like to divide the property for sale but to do that the
property has to be platted and the platting process requires that the property be served with City sewer.He
pointed out that the property will probably never receive Cityservices since itis adjacent tothe I-90clover leaf
and is surrounded by government owned property.
It was the consensus of the Council that staff draft an amendment to the language in the wastewater
regulations that will permit this project to proceed.
