\J WATER/SEWER SERVICE -MAIERS DEVELOPMENT f*)
Maiers Development Corporation requested water and sewer service for residential property across
Highway 17 from the Larson housing area north of Airway Drive.It is proposed to develop 100 to 200
residential units over 10 to 15 years.
Phil Bloom,Columbia Northwest Engineering,representing the developer,stated that the homes will be
constructed along the ridge and from 20'to 100'down the hill after it is terraced.Before any development
can commence,however,the developers want to be sure that city services are available.
Gary G.Harer,Municipal Services Director,pointed out that this is a very general request and suggested
that a time limit of 5 years be placed on the requirement to supply services.He mentioned that there is
sufficient capacity to service 100 homes at the present time. He felt that the city should not be required
to hold capacity for a potential development for 10 to 15 years,as there is always the possibility that the
development will not occur.
There was some discussion by the Council on the request for a time limit on the request to supply city
services for this proposed development.
Mr.Bloom stated that the time limits can be worked out with staff.He mentioned that there will have to
be a significant amount of site grading which will probably take 10 to 20 years to complete.
Action Taken:Mr.Pearce moved that the request be tabled until the staff and the developer can provide
specific numbers on residential units and a time frame for development,seconded by Mr.Nichols, and
passed with Mr.Rimple and Mr.Reese opposed.
WATER/SEWER SERVICE -PACIFIC NORTHWEST SUGAR (^)
Pacific Northwest Sugar Co.requested water and sewer service for the planned sugar processing facility
on Wheeler Road at the old U &I plant location.They are requesting 720,000 gallons of water per day
and will discharge 30,000 gallons per day into the sewer.No agriculture process water is proposed to be
discharged to the sewer system.
Phil Bloom, Columbia Northwest Engineering,representing the project,stated that the agriculture process
water will be used for irrigation of a crop and will not be discharged to the city's sewer system.It is
planned to install storage tanks to meet some of the peak demand which will reduce the demand on the
city's water system.He pointed out that the 500 gpm is only needed for the yearly start up of the plant.
Once the plant is operating,it will generate more water than it uses.
Marvin Price, Manager,stated that they do not anticipate any problems with the silicone in the water.
Gary G.Harer,Municipal Services Director,stated that the city has sufficient water and sewer capacity
to handle this facility.
Action Taken:Dr.Covey moved that the request for water and sewer service be granted with the
stipulation that an Extra Territorial Utility Agreement be executed,seconded by Mr.Reese,and passed
unanimously.

ORDINANCE -MARINA SHORES PURD PRELIMINARY PLAT -2ND READING/PUBLIC HEARING //<?((/
Todd Moore,Basin Surveying and Associates,has submitted the Marina Shores Preliminary Plat for a 44
lot planned unit residential development within the R-3zone. The proposed plat would be located inthe
1300 block of Marina Drive.The proposed PURDD will be served with city water and sewer.
Gary G.Harer,Municipal Services Director,stated that staff would prefer the utilities and streets to be
either private or public rather than a mixof private and public as currently proposed.Hestated thatthe
^-city encounters problems with maintaining public utilities on private property.He pointed out that the
i i streets are currently proposed at 30' in width which is narrow when trying to maintain both sewer and
water lines.
The Council discussed the pros and cons of private and public utilities and streets.
Harold Moberg,representing the developers,pointed out that the covenants on the development provide
for a fund to be established for street repairs and the city would be protected from claims by the
$2,000,000 insurance policy suggested by the City Attorney.
Larry Peterson,1009 Laguna,pointed out that the city will obtain more revenue from water and sewer
service to 44 residential homes than it would for a commercial development using the same amount of
water and sewer services.
Mr.Pearce mentioned that the designated walkway and sidewalk mentioned in#4 inthe ordinance should
be more clearly defined.
Joseph K. Gavinski, City Manager,suggested the following language be placed in the ordinance: A
designated walkway along one side and a sidewalk constructed per community standards along the other
side of all internal streets shall be provided.
Mr.Rimple pointed out that the requirement to fence the 10' foot access on both sides may not be
desirable as it will end up being a 700'+,10'wide tunnel.
Mr.Chapman mentioned that the city should not be constructing a fence on private property.
^There was some discussion by the Council on whether the 10'public access should be part of the PURD
\-J ordinance or designated on the plat.It was the consensus that this foot access be acondition ofthe plat.
The Council also discussed the 20'easement for vehicular traffic along the west boundary of the
development.
Mr.Chapman requested the following language concerning the vehicular access to the city's property to
the north be placed in the ordinance:That a permanent easement be granted to the city to permit city
vehicular traffic to travel alongthe internal streets of the plat and alonga 15*wide parcel adjoining the
westerly boundary of the proposed plat sufficient to permit vehicular access to the city's property to the
north of the proposed plat.
The ordinance creating a planned unit residential development district of Moses Lake pursuant to Moses
Lake Municipal Code 18.22.020 (8)and Moses Lake Municipal Code 18.67 was read by title only.
Action Taken:Mr.Chapman moved that Section 2 of the ordinance be amended as follows:
Section 2.All requirements and standards ofthe R-3 Zone,Multi-family Residential,shall apply tothe
Planned Unit Residential Development District No.9 with the following conditions:
1. A 25'buffer area shall be maintained on the shoreline which shall be left in its natural state.
