Mr.Erwin stated they looked for a site for the retirement inn that was close to shopping,main thoroughfares,and that had certain advantages that some of the less expensive sites did not have.He stated that for this particular piece of property the property line will have to be brought down another 150' on the development itself,approximately 500'of the drainage easement will have to be relocated,and there will be construction of approximately 200'of curbing and 250'of sidewalks.The utility lines along Pioneer Way are also proposed to be buried.The property will be replated,easements will be shifted,and the property had to be surveyed in order to find the monuments. The cost of surveying is approximately $70,000.For these reasons they are requesting that the Council not require compensation for the vacated portion of Laurel Drive. Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that if the City Council does not require compensation for the vacated portion of Laurel Drive,this should be considered the first reading of the ordinance since there will have to be sub stantial changes in the ordinance. Mr.Wallenstien wanted to know if Dove Management is a non-profit organiza tion.Mr.Erwin stated that they are not and the cost of having to pay for one-half of the appraised value of the vacated street would have to be passed on to the people residing in the retirement home.He further stated that most of the people in retirement homes are on a fixed income. Mr.Chandler wanted to know if the city had waived compensation previously. Mr.Gavinski stated that there were two instances where compensation was waived.The first was on the Highland Park Short Plat presented by Dr.Black. There was a old road of record on that plat that Dr.Black could have required the city to install.So in lieu of installation the city waived the require ment for compensation of the vacated street.The second was granted for Cen tral School because of the nature of the organization requesting the waiver. Mr.Reese moved that the Council waive the requirement for compensation. The motion died due to lack of a second. Mr.Gavinski stated that the ordinance could be amended,but if the ordinance is passed,it would have to be passed on the first reading because of the sub stantial change that would be made to the ordinance. Action Taken:Mr.Edwards moved that the second reading of the ordinance be adopted,seconded by Mr.Wallenstien. Mr.Reese felt that it would be in the best interest of the City of Moses Lake to remove the compensation requirement from the ordinance. Mr.Chandler wanted to know if the Council would be setting a precedent by waiving the requirement for compensating the city for one-half of the ap praised value. Mr.Gavinski stated that consideration by Council could be given on a case by case basis. The motion failed with Mr.Edwards and Mr.Wallenstien in favor and Mr.John son,Mr.Reese,Mr.Staat and Mr.Chandler opposed. The Council wanted to know how much the property cost.Mr.Erwin stated that they had paid $2.00 per square foot. p 3857 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES:3 July 23,1985 Mr.Edwards stated that he did not feel the developer should receive the prop erty free and felt the ordinance should be passed as presented.
