V.PETITIONS.COMMUNICATIONS.OR PUBLIC HEARINGS
COMMUNICATION -MOSES LAKE CLINIC -WELLNESS WALK
The Moses Lake Clinic is proposing to establish a "Wellness Walk" from the clinic on Juniper to Pioneer to
Wheeler to Clover to Nelson and back to Juniper.Itis proposed to use traffic yellow painted footprints to f]
mark the walk at the intersections and every %mile.
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that this is an unusual request and it was felt that the Council
should be informed of this proposal.
Mr.Pearce was concerned about allowing painting on the sidewalk and wanted to know ifthis route would
be permanent or ifitwould be moved each year.
Dick Smith, Manager of the Moses Lake Clinic,stated that it is proposed to establish and maintain at clinic
expense a 3 mile walking route in a residential and business neighborhood.This is to promote physical
activity and healthy activities among neighborhood residents and employees of businesses along the route.

unanimously.
COMMUNICATION -GUN CONTROL
RichardAldrichis requesting the city adopt an ordinance which will exempt the city from RCW 9.41.050(4),
which is new regulations requiring all firearms to be unloaded and concealed invehicles. The county has
already passed an ordinance exempting itself from this regulation.
Action Taken:Mr.Pearce moved that an ordinance be drafted exempting the city from the state law,
seconded by Mr.Chapman.
James A. Whitaker, City Attorney, stated that the lawallowsthe carryingof an unloaded firearm ifitis in a r-\
secured gun rack.
Fred Haynes, Police Chief, did not feel the new lawwould create an enforcement problem and did not feel
an exemption was necessary.
Mr.Whitaker stated that the new law no longer allows a person to carrya gun in an open holster without
a concealed weapons permitand no longer allows people to carry around a rifle or shotgun just to be
carrying them around. The exemption would allow both those things.
The Council felt there should be uniformity between the county and the city with regard to this issue.
The motion passed unanimously.

and the city.

stated that the project is within the city's urban growth area as discussed with Grant County and they would
like to tie into the city's waterand sewer systemsand to havea reimbursement agreement established.The
construction of water and sewer utilitiesto city standards forthis project would bea benefit to both parties
and would allow the utilitiesto be transferred to the city in the future.
Gary Harer,Municipal Services Director,stated that staff is concerned about the impact of this project on
the city's systems.It is a feasible project but the details need to be worked out.Both the Development
Engineer and City Engineer have detailed their concerns.
Joseph K.Gavinski, City Manager,stated that the comments from the Development Engineer and the City
Engineerwere given to Council forits information. The developer should present a planoutlininghis project
and the city staff will consider those and negotiate any concerns with the developers.
COMMUNICATION -BIG BEND MANTA RAYS
v_y Joseph K.Gavlnski, City Manager,stated that the Big Bend Manta Rays have requested that the pool be
closed during the times of their swim meet.
Tony St.Onge,Big Bend Manta Rays,stated that the meet will have approximately 400 participants and will
bring in 1200 to 1500 people.The meet will start at 8:30 a.m. and there will not be a noon break.The
problem is that the aquatic center is so well used by the general public that having the facilityopen to the
public during the meet could cause some safety and hearing problems forthe participants. He mentioned
that balls from the volleyball court have been known to end up in the pool which would be a real problem
if it happened during a race. He suggested that perhaps the pool could be closed on Saturday to the
general public until after the meet Isover at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. and then remain open lateto perhaps 10 p.m.
or 11 p.m. He mentioned that in previous years the old pool was closed during the swim meet.He stated
that ifthings do not work our there could be a possibility of losing their meet sanctions.He stated that the
Big Bend MantaRays are requesting that the city change its pool hours forthe public for the meetweekend.
Bob Jarman,Big Bend Manta Rays,stated that most of the equipment could be taken down but there are
a few items that would have to remain in place.
John Lucero,Big Bend Manta Rays, pointed out that this swim meet brings a lot of people into the city and
they would like to show case the meet to the rest of the Inland Empire.
Mr.Gavinski stated that this is not an easy situation to resolve.He mentioned that city staff is not
recommending that the pool be closed because if it is only open to the public at 6 p.m. on Saturday and
4 p.m. on Sunday there would not be enough people using the pool to justifythe staff expense.There
would also be the problem of the season pass holders and people from outside the area who would have
no way of knowing the pool would be closed.
Jerry Thaut, Parkand Recreation Director,stated that the use of the pool was projected at 400 to 500
people. Itwas not anticipated that approximately 1200 a day would be using the facility.
Mr.Pearce pointed out that duringthe designing of the pool the Manta Rays stated that it would not be
necessary to close the pool forthe swim meet. He feltthat the city has an obligationto the public not to
close the poolsince itwas not advertised. Hewanted to know ifthe season pass holders could be notified
ifthe poolwere to be closed and also advertisethat fact inthe paper. The only people that would not be
notified then would be the drop in traffic.
Mr.Gavinski stated that there are about 800 season pass holders.

CITY COUNICL MINUTES: 4 July 12,1994
Mr.Collier pointed out that the pool has always been closed in the past for the swim meet and he wanted
to know if there had been any problems.
Mr.Thaut stated that there were no problems but now the city has a different facility.
Mr.Collier felt that the pool should be closed during the meet and see what sort of problems that creates
and how they can be solved for next year.
Mr.Rimple wanted to know ifall400 participants would be in the pool at one time and ifso,wouldn't those
who are not racing be in the shallow end?f""^
Mr.Lucero stated that there would be 8 racers in the pool at one time.
Mr.Jarman stated that there would be activity in the shallow end as they anticipate 1200 people inside the
fence.
Mr.Rimple pointed out that the city has told the citizens that this is their facility and the city had no idea it
would be so well used.He mentioned that the aquatic center has been promoted to not only Moses Lake
but other areas as well. He felt there is an obligation to the season pass holders and those coming in from
outside the area to keep the pool open.He felt that 1200 to 1500 people is a lot to turn away. If it is
determined that the pool should be closed for the swim meet next year,people can be notified that that
weekend the pool will be closed.He suggested that the meet be advertised and the public be notified of
the meet but that the pool not be closed.
Mr.Jackson pointed out that the city went to additional expense to put in a 10 lane pool and he wanted to
know why only 8 lanes were being used.
Mr.St.Onge stated that regulations have changed since the pool was designed and the lanes are required
to be wider than before so only 8 lanes are available.
Mr.Pearce suggested that the public be notified of the swim meet and its times and that a portion of the
facility will be closed.
Mr.Rimple stated that staff has already determined to get the word out to the public about the meet so that
the people will know the facility is being used.^"\
Action Taken:Mr.Pearce moved that the aquatic center remain open to the public but that the swim meet
be separated from the general population,the drop slide and one water slide be closed,the mushroom be
shut off, and the public be notified of the swim meet,seconded by Mr.Jackson,and passed with Mr.Collier
opposed.

VII.REQUESTS TO CALL FOR BIDS -None
VIII.REFERRALS FROM COMMISSIONS
CRESTVIEW HEIGHTS PRELIMINARY PLAT (~)
Columbia Northwest Engineering,on behalfof Larry Peterson, has submitted a preliminary platfora 38 lot
residential subdivision to be located on Crestview Drive.The area is zoned R-1,Single Family Residential.
The subdivision will be served with city water and sanitary sewer.
The proponent is proposing to provide access to the property inthe rearof this platby leaving two 60' wide
pieces of property unplatted between lots 7 and 8 and 20 and 21. This property is proposed to be
dedicated as right-of-wayon a possible future plat. The proponent does not wish to dedicate the two areas
as right-of-wayat this time as itwould requirethe construction of the streets or bonding for the improve
ments.There is also 46' of vacant property between Lot 1 and the existing Crestview Estates Platand the
Planning Commission feltthat Lot 1 should be redesigned to provide fora 60' wide street inthis area also.
u
4892
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES:5 July 12, 1994
The Planning Commission recommended to the CityCouncilthat the preliminary platbe approved withthe
following conditions:
1. Lot 1 be redesigned to provide enough land for a 60'street in this area.
2. 25' exterior side yard setbacks be required on the north side of Lots 1, 7, and 20 and on the south
side of Lots 8 and 21 to allow for proper setbacks when the future roads are constructed.
3. The lots be the same size as they appear on the preliminary plat with the exception of Lot 1.
4. City staff be satisfied that there is adequate provision forthe proposed streets to be installedat a
future date.
At the June 28 meeting, Council expressed concern about the plat since the unplatted property between
the proposed blocks would create three plats instead of one. City staff recommended that the right-of-way
be dedicated on the plat and that the city accept a covenant for the construction of the improvements at
a later date.
Action Taken:Mr.Jackson moved that this item be removed from the table,seconded by Mr.Collier,and
passed unanimously.
Mr.Chapman wanted to know if the problem of the right-of-way has been taken care of.
James A. Whitaker, City Attorney,stated that the problem is that the proponent does not want to dedicate
the right-of-way on the plat because of the construction requirements and the requirement for a cul de sac.
The city is proposing that the right-of-way be dedicated through and beyond this piat and create the cul de
sacs on the other side of the plat.The cul de sacs and adjacent roadway would be adjacent to a largetract
of unplatted land and the city can secure its interest in having the cul de sac and street built in the future.
The dedication of these roadways would create a single contiguous plat.
Action Taken:Mr.Paine moved that the Crestview Heights PreliminaryPlatbe approved as recommended
by the Planning Commission with the requirement that the right-of-way be dedicated on the plat and a
covenant be required for future street improvements and the Findings of Fact be accepted,seconded by
Mr.Pearce, and passed unanimously.
^J HAYDEN ESTATES SECOND ADDITION PLANNED UNIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT -FINAL PLAT //*?£
Phil Bloom,Columbia Northwest Engineering,has submitted a final plat for the second addition of Hayden
Estates Planned Unit Residential Development subdivision located off of Clover Drive.The area is zoned
R-1,Single-family Residential.The subdivision will be served with city water and sanitary sewer.
One of the conditions of approval of the Hayden Estates Second Addition Planned Unit Residential
Development was that improvements be made to the neighborhood park as required by the Parks and
Recreation Department.The developer and his agent have worked with the Parks and Recreation
Department to come to a mutual agreement detailing what improvements are to be made as part of the
Hayden Estates Second Addition Planned Unit Residential Development (PURD)and what improvements
are to be made as part of a proposed future Hayden Estates Third Addition PURD.
In consideration of the Hayden Estates Second Addition Planned Unit Residential Development final plat,
the City Council may wish to consider the following:
1.The improvements to the parkthat have been proposed by the developers and accepted by the Parks
and Recreation Department are to be made in two phases.Part of the improvements are to be
constructed with the Hayden Estates 2nd Addition PURDand the remaining improvements are to be
made as partof a proposed Hayden Estates ThirdAddition PURD.IfHayden Estates ThirdAddition
PURDis not constructed,what assurance does the city have that the improvements that were to be
constructed as partof Hayden Estates Third Addition PURD will be constructed at all?
2. There are nine (9)residences that are to be fenced along the rear property lines as they abut the
proposed park.The developer has agreed to provide a three (3)foot fence around the park.In
\^J further discussions with city staff and the city attorney,there may be aliability issue because with the
parkbeing "enclosed"by fence and accessed by two (2)narrowpathsthe citywould have to assure
a level of safety for the users.
3. The addition of two (2)lots abutting Hayden Drive to the west were discussed at the last Council
meetingas a possible solution inincreasing the areaand visibility to the proposed Hayden Park.The
developerhas indicated to citystaffthatthese two (2)lotswouldbe available to the city for $40,283.
It is obvious that the purchase of these lots at this priceis not advisable from a cost-benefit point of
view.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: 6 July 12, 1994
4. The developer has submitted the Hayden Estates Third Addition Planned Unit Residential Develop
ment. This has yet to go before the Planning Commission and City Council for review.It may be
noted that the third phase does not provide for any additional open space aside from what is being
proposed for Hayden Estates 2nd Addition.
The Planning Commission recommended that the final platbe approved withthe stipulation that the City
Engineer's comments be addressed priorto filing the plat.
Jerry Thaut,Park and Recreation Director,has determined that $6,500 shall be provided for playground ^^^
equipment in the park.The concern ofthe city is if sight obscuring fences are installed bythe surrounding \)
propertyowners there will be no way forthe policeto monitorthe park.If additional propertyto the west
were included in the park, itwould provide an area where the police could monitor the park.
Action Taken:Mr.Pearce moved that the Hayden Estates Second Addition Planned Unit Residential
Development Final Plat be brought off the table,seconded by Chapman, and passed unanimously.
There was discussion by the Council on security and liability problems with a parkthat will be surrounded
by homes and perhapssightobscuring fences. The Council discussed the factthat perhapsthe parkshould
be privately owned since itis forthe benefit of the property owners inthe area but it was pointed out that
home owner associations traditionally do not provide adequate upkeep of open space commonly owned
by the development.The Council also discussed adding property to the park to provide for access to
enable the policeto patrol the park. Itwas pointed out that adding propertyto this parkcould not be done
on the second addition.Additional property forthe parkwould have to be required on the third addition.
ActionTaken:Mr.Jackson moved that the platbe approved as recommended by the PlanningCommission
and the Findings of Fact be accepted,seconded by Mr.Pearce, and passed unanimously.
iff SOUTHGATE ADDITION FINAL PLAT
Fred Skinner,Western Pacific Engineering, has submitted a final plat for a 22 lot residential subdivision
located off of Division Street.The area is zoned R-1,Single-family Residential. The subdivision will be
served with city water and sanitary sewer.Full width street improvements have been constructed to serve
the subdivision.
The Planning Commission recommended that the Southgate Addition Final Plat be approved./->
Action Taken:Mr.Pearce moved that the Southgate Addition #1 Final Plat be approved and the Findings
of Fact be accepted,seconded by Mr.Collier,and passed unanimously.
^MONTLAKE EAST #8 -VARIANCE
Fred Skinner,Western Pacific Engineering,Inc.has submitted a 10 lot major plat located off of Turnagin
Place and has requested a subdivision variance to allow a reduction in the minimum right-of-way require
ments for Turnagin Court on all sides.An identical variance was granted for the Montlake East #7 Short
Platand staff has no objections to this variance request since it is for the continuation of the same street.
The Planning Commission recommended that the variance request be granted.
Action Taken:Mr.Chapman moved that the variance request be granted,seconded by Mr.Pearce, and
passed unanimously.
LAKEMONT SHORT PLAT -VARIANCE
Phil Bloom, Columbia Northwest Engineering, has submitted a 9 lot short platlocated off ofValley Road and
has requested a subdivision variance to allow the proponent to deviate from the subdivision design
standards that require lots to be a minimum of 100'useable feet in depth.Lots 1 and 9 are not to the
required design standard for corner lots.These corner lots shall be 10%greater in area than the minimum
required 7,000 square foot lot. At the Planning Commission meeting Mr.Bloom indicated that the plat would
be redesigned to increase the size of these two lots. This would be done by eliminating one lot from the
plat thereby making itan 8 lot short plat. Residential lots frontingon a communityarterial (ValleyRoad) are
required to be at least 120' in depth.As staff has been interpreting the ordinance, Lots 1and 9 would need
to meetthis requirement and a variance from this standard would also be required.The Planning Commis
sion recommended that the variance request be granted to allow the lots inthe Lakemont Short Platto be
less than 100' in depth and Lots 1 and 9 be less than 120' in depth be granted.
Gary Harer,Municipal Services Director,pointedoutthatthe Planning Commission discussed the desirability
of havingthis short plataccess onto Oregon instead ofValley Road, but could not make a recommendation
since a short plat is approved by staff.

County,seconded by Mr.Jackson,and passed unanimously.
IX.OTHER ITEMS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION

The city is requesting a variance from the Community Standards to depress the sidewalk for two driveway
approaches at the Satellite Fire Station. There is a 3' planterstrip infront of the station and the Community
Standards do not allowthe depressed sidewalks where there isa planterstrip. Staff is concerned about the
stress on the new ladder truck this situation could create.
\^_J Action Taken:Mr.Collier moved that the variance be granted,seconded by Mr.Pearce,and passed
unanimously.
