V.PETITIONS.COMMUNICATIONS.OR PUBLIC HEARINGS
NELSON ROAD
Phil Bloom,Columbia Northwest Engineering,stated that the property owners within the city limits have
been contacted about participating in the improvement of Nelson Road.Since about 75%of Nelson Road
is in the county,the amount and type of improvements must be determined.There are three options - (1)
match the street and leave the existing double shot BST,patching it along the match line; (2)widen the
street to an improved county standard,15 feet of hot mix asphalt with a ditch section;the curb and
sidewalk to be added later when these properties are annexed or request city services;(3)widen the street
as proposed under the LID to 18.5 feet of hot mix asphalt,crushed rock,and curb.
Bob Fancher,representing the project,stated that constructing the street without going through the LID
process will save about 25%to 30%in costs.
Gene Clasen, Nelson Road,stated that the road is perfect forthe residents currently living in the area.
He felt that the developer is creating the problem and should take care of it without asking others to
contribute to the cost of improving the road.
Mr.Jackson wanted to know how negotiations were going on the ownership of Nelson Road.
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that no conclusions were reached. It is the county's position
that no improvements were needed on Nelson Road and that ithas sufficient capacity to carry a significant
amount of traffic.So the county sees no reason to participate in the improvement of the roadway. If
improvements are done on Nelson Road, the city would enter intoan agreementwith the county to acquire
the right-of-way.
Karen Edwards, Nelson Road, felt that the developer should pay for the cost of any improvements to
Nelson Road.
Mr.Pearce pointed out that Nelson Road does need some improvement as it is narrow with ditches on
both sides and no room for pedestrian traffic.
There was some discussion by the Council.
ActionTaken:Mr.Chapman moved thatthe developer be informedthatthe citywould preferNelson Road
to be improved as a city street with the sidewalk adjacent to the property outside the city limits to be
installed at a laterdate, the developer to pay for the extension of the sewer and the cityto participate in
the cost of improving the portion of Nelson Road currently outside of the city limits,and staff be directed
to negotiate with the county to transferownership of Nelson Road to the city,seconded by Mr.Reese,and
passed unanimously.
ENTRANCE SIGN
The Soroptimist Club is proposing anotherwelcome sign near Patton Boulevard and Highway 17 and is
requesting that the city assume responsibility for the power bill for the illumination of the sign.

month.She pointed out thatthe city already covers the PUD bill for the existing two entrancesigns.

between $12,000 and $13,000 for four to six months of work.The funds will be used for salaries.This
is a one time request for funds.He mentioned that the Task Force has negotiated with the Youth
Partnership Task Force to handle this work.
Action Taken:Mr.Pearce moved that the city contribute a one-time additional $2,500 to the Youth
Partnership Task Force,seconded by Mr.Nichols, and passed unanimously.
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
David Ketchum,Airside,distributed copies of the Municipal Airport Development Plan which will be used
to guide future development at the Municipal Airport. He mentioned that the Moses Lake Airport
Commission has recently been recognized by the State of Washington Department of Transportation
Aviation Division for managing the affairs ofthe airport. He explained the Moses Lake Municipal Airport
Development Plan for the Commission and the improvements that have been made at the Municipal
Airport.
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
Ted Lund,President,Boys and Girls Club ofthe Columbia Basin,gave the Council some background on
the program and showed a video. He distributed information about the program and explained that Boys
and Girls Clubs provide a way to reach the youth before they get out of control. He stated that they are
looking at several buildings and one option is the old fire station on a temporary basis.
REQUEST TO USE CITY PROPERTY -GREAT RACE
Clay Crook, Moses Lake Spring Festival,1996 Corel Great Race, stated that this is a car rally that will
begin in Tacoma.They will be in Moses Lake for lunch on June 17. The request is to close the streets
forthis event as a car show is proposed and lunch will be provided to the racers.These are vintage cars
^_J from 1942 or older and the event is to help promote the city and tourism.
It was the consensus of the Council that the necessary streets be closed forthis event.
VARIANCE -MARINA DRIVE AND COMMERCE STREETS
Monty Holm,Moses Lake Iron and Metal,has requested a variance to the Community Standards at the
intersection of Marina Drive and Commerce Street in orderto allow trucks to turn around at the intersection
and to make it easier to back into their gate.
Gary G.Harer,Municipal Services Director,explained the request to the Council and mentioned that the
improvements to the streets are required as part of the off-site improvements of Moulton Landing.
Monty Holm,Moses Lake Iron and Metal,stated that the variance is needed in order to allow trucks to
continue making a U-tum in this area.
Norm Estoos,representing Monty Holm, pointed out that the existing conditions allow trucks to enter the
5th gate without using Marina Drive.The proposed street improvements would eliminate that and also the
ability of trucks to make a U-tum at this intersection and require the semi trucks to enter the residential
area to turn around.
There was some discussion by the Council and it was pointed out that with the development of Moulton
Landing there is the potential for increased traffic on Commerce.It was suggested that the trucks enter
Moses Lake Iron and Metal at one gate and exit out another gate,thereby eliminating the need fora U-turn
at Commerce and Marina.
Jim Whitaker,City Attorney,pointed out that if the Council chooses to allow an intersection that is less
than Community Standards,the city would be liable forany accident that occurs. He pointed out that the
U-turns being made at this time are in violation of state statute.
Action Taken:Mr.Chapman moved that the variance request for the street improvements be denied but
that a variance be granted for a 30' curb cut at gates 4 and 5,seconded by Mr.Paine, and passed
unanimously.

required to run with the land for sewer improvements at a future date and that the driveway variance for
one 30'wide private driveway on Lot 2 also be approved.

the three lots but would prefer to have the sewer line installed in city right-of-way rather than on private
property.

private property creates maintenance problems for the city.

covenant be required to run with the land for sewer improvements at a future date,and the driveway
variance for one 30'wide private driveway on Lot 2 to service all three lots be approved,seconded by Mr.

requirement for full width street improvements on Balsam Street.Normally variance requests for street
improvements have not been granted when the street abuts improved streets.The Planning Commission

improved streets.Normally variances to street improvements have been granted where there are no street
improvements already constructed.
Loris Harrell,ownerof Shady Nook Mobile Home Park,stated that obligating him to install street and utility
improvements on Balsam Street would not be cost effective forthe few additional mobile homes that are
