Jerry Erwin are requesting a rezone from R-l and R-2 to R-3,Multi-family
Residential,for a 5.5 acre parcel of land located on Hill Street between
Grand and Evergreen.The purpose of the rezone is to accommodate a new 80
unit convalescent care home on Tax #6570.The Freemans joined the rezone to
avoid spot zoning.The"Planning Commission recommended that the rezone be
denied because of the large opposition to the rezone and the fact that R-3
zoning should not directly adjoin R-l zoning.The Council passed the first
reading of the ordinance and requested Planning Commission consideration of a
contract zone for the property.
Mr.Gavinski stated that the Planning Commission were concerned about spot
zoning and possible problems in the future if the area is changed to R-3 even
under a contract zone. The Commission recommended that the contract zone con
cept be used with only R-2 uses allowed with the exception of a convalescent
center being allowed as a conditional use and that the Freeman property also
be rezoned to avoid spot zoning.
Mr.Gavinski stated that if the Freeman property is rezoned,the ordinance
would have to be amended and should be passed as a first reading.
The ordinance amending Section 18.09.020 of the Moses Lake Municipal Code was
read by title only.
Jerry Erwin,the developer of the project,stated that the reason for choosing ,—>
this area is because it is in a residential area and close to the Wenatchee
Valley Clinic.He showed some slides of a similar project located in Longview
and showed the site plan for the proposed project.
The public hearing was opened.

ing of the project in Longview in order to get some idea of what the outside

overstated but that the wishes of the majority should be considered.

the R-2 zone could be a lot less attractive than the proposed nursing home.

wishes of the residents.

third class city to designate handicapped parking.He stated that a code city
would have the authority.Since staff was directed by Council to amend the
parking regulations,several other housekeeping problems need to be taken care
of.The on-street parking situation on Grape and Central has been studied in
connection with the Central Drive project.The City Engineer is recommending
that parking on Grape Drive be prohibited from Dale Road to Sage Bay Drive,on
the west side of Division from Belmont to 1-90,the east side of Division from

CASCADE PARK -REQUEST TO USE ENTRANCE ROAD
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that the city has received a request
from Dick Herman to utilize the city's driveway into Cascade Park as access
for a three lot subdivision he is proposing adjacent to Cascade Park.In par
tial consideration for the city allowing Mr.Herman to use the access for his
subdivision,he would agree to deed 5'of property adjacent to the western
boundary of the park.It is the recommendation of the Municipal Services De
partment that Mr.Herman not be allowed to use the road for access to his plat
because of problems for the city.At the current time this is a gravel road
and is not maintained as well as residents might wish and also snow is not
removed from this road during the winter.There may also be some liability to
the city.Staff felt this would be a policy decision and is requesting direc
tion from Council.
Cecil Lee,Park and Recreation Director,pointed out that the city may not
always want the road in this location and allowing it to be used by private
citizens would severely handicap the city's ability to block the entrance to
the park.
There was some discussion by the Council on the location of the existing
roads,the problem of traffic into the private lots,park closure,etc.
Action Taken:Mr.Edwards moved that the request be denied,seconded by Mr.
Biailas,and passed unanimously.
HUMANE SOCIETY -FENCE
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that the city is still having prob
lems with dogs running at large and with people who visit the Humane Society
shelter wandering near the Larson Sewage Treatment Plant.Since January 1984
the city has monitored the problem and in March 1986 a puppy was found in the
headworks.It has been reported that small children have been observed play
ing on the lawn unattended with direct access to the headworks and a large
amount of dog feces has been observed on the grounds of the Larson Sewage
Treatment Plant.It 1s again recommended that a fence be erected between the
Humane Society and the Larson Sewage Treatment Plant.
Action Taken:Mr.Reese moved that a fence be erected between the land leased
by the Humane Society and the Larson Sewage Treatment Plant,seconded by Mr.
Chandler,and passed unanimously.
3963
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES:7 May 13,1986
WATER SERVICE REQUEST -COCHRAN
Rita Perstac,Municipal Services Director,stated that Howard Cochran has re-^^^
quested permission to extend an 8"city water main on Airway Drive from the
north end of Harvest Manor 770 linear feet south along Airway Drive.In ex
change,Mr.Cochran is willing to agree to the city's annexation policy if the
city sets up a reimbursement schedule for the water main.Bringing city water
to this presently vacant property will probably prepare the property for
development with septic tanks.The property is about 1/2 mile from the lake.
Council may want to consider approving the water request with the condition
city sanitary sewer is also extended when-these lots are developed.City
sewer is available at Harvest Manor,800'away,in a private easement and on
Carswell,1,500'away,in public right-of-way.Starfood Corporation may
develop and have a lift station installed only 450'from the north end of the
Cochran property.
Mr.Cochran stated that he is not in favor of having the approval of the water
extension contingent on installing city sewer since it would be cost
prohibitive.
Mr.Edwards excused himself from the remainder of the meeting due to a pre
viously scheduled appointment.
There was some discussion by the Council on the sewer problem.
Action Taken:Mr.Reese moved that the request for city water be granted,
seconded by Mr.Chandler,and passed unanimously.

17.The Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that the zone
change request be denied because of the amount of opposition and the fact
that the Planning Commission has tried to avoid an R-3 zone directly ad
jacent to an R-l zone.
18.The City Council considered the zone change request at their meeting on
April 22,1986.
19.Jerry Erwin,representing the development,stated that they chose this
particular piece of property because it is close to the Wenatchee Valley
Clinic and it is a quiet area.The proposal will have off street
parking.
20.Mr.Biallas wanted to know why there was so much opposition to the pro
posal at the Planning Commission meeting.Mr.Erwin stated that the
residents were opposed to the R-3 zone as it would open up the area to a
number of things besides this project including mobile home parks which
they are very opposed to.
21.Mr.Edwards wanted to know how much of the proposed rezone would be used
for this project.Mr.Erwin stated that they are proposing to put their
project on Tax #6570 which is about half of the property proposed in the
zone change.
22.Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that there is the possibility of
using the contract zoning format for this project.The contract zoning
would restrict any development to what is allowed in the contract.
23.Mr.Rimple pointed out that the Planning Commission's objection was the
R-3 zone adjacent to an R-l.
24.Reverend Cloyce Cunningham,917 Skyline,stated that the church had at
one time proposed to build a church on Tax #6570 but it had been decided
that it would not accommodate the congregation.When the church was ap
proached about this particular project it was felt it would be an ideal
area for it.
25.Lyman Severn,1103 E.Lark,felt that this project would be an asset tothecommunityandtheareaasitwouldcleanuptheproperty.f |
26.Mr.Chandler stated that the people he had talked to were concerned about
having the property rezoned and this project not being built.He would
be in favor of the zone change if it is tied to the nursing home and he
did not see any reason to rezone the property owned by the Freemans since
there is no project proposed for their property.
27.Mr.Rimple felt the project should be sent back to the Planning Commis
sion for their recommendation on the possibility of using the contract
zoning concept for this project.
28.The Council exempted the Freeman property from the zone change and adop
ted the first reading of the ordinance.
29.Jerry Erwin explained the project to the Planning Commission at their
meeting on April 24,1986.
30.The Planning Commission set a special meeting for May 8,1986 to consider
the concept of contract zoning for this area.
31.At the Planning Commission meeting on May 8,1986,Mr.Gavinski stated
that the proposed ordinance for the contract zone would allow everything
already allowed in the R-2 zone with the addition of a convalescent cen
ter as either a permitted use or conditional use,which ever the Commis
sion may choose.
32.Mr.Collier wanted to know if the convalescent center could be allowed as
a conditional use under the R-2 zone.
33.Mr.Gavinski stated that the area would have to be rezoned to R-3 to al
low the center unless the Commission found it to be a similar and com
patible use in the R-2 zone and he would recommend against that as he did
not feel there is anything in the R-2 zone which would be compatible or
similar.
34. Mrs. Kvamme stated it would be no better and no worse than a mobile home
park which is allowed in the R-2 and the residents in the area do not
like the R-3 zone.
35.Mr.Gregory wanted to know what the problem would be in changing the
zone.
36.Mr.Collier stated that the Planning Commission uses the R-2 zone as a
buffer between the R-l and R-3 zones and he is concerned about what could
be placed on the property in the future if it is rezoned to R-3.
37.Mr.Gavinski stated that nothing would be allowed in that area except
what is allowed under the contract zone.As it is currently proposed,
only those uses allowed in an R-2 zone plus a convalescent center would
be permitted.
38.Mr.Gregory wanted to know what would happen to the property if the con
valescent center were built and then discontinued.
39.Mr.Gavinski stated that the new owners would have to abide by the con
tract zoning.He pointed out that the manufactured housing uses can be
eliminated under the contract zone if the Commission desires and the
Council agrees.
40.Mr.Bailey pointed out that in this area an R-3 zone is presently adja
cent to an R-l along Cherry Street.
41.Mr.Bernd pointed out that the contract zone would give the Commission a
great deal of control over the project.
42.Mr.Gregory wanted to know if this zone change would be spot zoning.
43.Mr.Gavinski stated that the possibility is a concern of the staff and
the Council would be so advised.He stated that the Freeman's property,
which the Council excluded in its passage of the first reading of the
ordinance,probably should also be rezoned to avoid the possibility of
spot zoning.
44.Mrs.Kvamme wanted to know if the project could be developed as a Planned
Unit Development in the R-2 Zone.
45.Rita Perstac,Municipal Services Director,stated that the Binding Site
Plan is a subdivision process,not a zoning matter.
46.Mrs.Kvamme stated that she is opposed to the rezone but not the proposed
use.
47.Mr.Gregory stated that the residents were also concerned about traffic
and water availability.The traffic should not be a problem but he want
ed to know if there is sufficient water in the area.
48.Ms.Perstac stated that water is not a problem in the area.
49.Mr.Bailey moved that it be recommended to the City Council that Tax
#6570 be rezoned to R-3 under the contract zone allowing the uses in the
R-2 zone and including a convalescent center or retirement home as a con
ditional use,seconded by Mr.Brown.
50.Mr.Gregory stated that he is concerned about spot zoning.
51.Mr.Gavinski stated that the spot zoning matter would be discussed with
the Council and if the contract zone ordinance is approved it would be
filed with the County Auditor and should be picked up on a title search.
52.Mr.Bernd stated that he would like to see the Freeman property also re
zoned to avoid spot zoning.
53.Mr.Pedersen stated that the Commission could recommend to the Council
that the Freeman property be rezoned along with Tax #6570.
54.Mr.Pray felt the area could be left R-2 and the convalescent center
found to be a similar and compatible use in the R-2 zone.
55.The motion failed with Mr.Brown,Mr.Pedersen,and Mr.Bailey in favor.
56.Mr.Bernd suggested that the Freeman property and Tax #6570 be rezoned to
R-3 under the contract zone to avoid spot zoning.
57.Mrs.*Kvamme felt that the convalescent center could be allowed as a
Planned Unit Development under the R-2 zone.
58.Mr.Bernd felt it would be similar to a group home,which is allowed in
the R-2 zone,except for its size.
59. Mr. Bernd moved that it be recommended to Council that the contract zone
concept be adopted for the Freeman property and Tax #6570 with a con
valescent center being allowed as a conditional use,seconded by Mr.
Pedersen and passed with Mr.Bernd,Mr.Gregory,Mr.Brown,and Mr.
Pedersen in favor and Mr.Pray and Mrs.Kvamme opposed,and Mr.Bailey
abstaining.
60.The City Council considered the second reading of the ordinance on the
zone change request at their meeting on May 13,1986.
61.Mr.Gavinski stated that the Planning Commission were concerned about
spot zoning and possible problems in the future if the area is changed to
R-3 even under a contract zone. The Commission recommended that the con
tract zone concept be used with only R-2 uses allowed with the exception
of a convalescent center being allowed as a conditional use and that the
Freeman property also be rezoned to avoid spot zoning.
62.Mr.Gavinski stated that if the Freeman property is rezoned,the or
dinance would have to be amended and should be passed as a first reading.
63.Jerry Erwin,the developer of the project,stated that the reason for
choosing this area is because it is in a residential area and close to
the Wenatchee Valley Clinic.He showed some slides of a similar project
located in Longview and showed the site plan for the proposed project.
64.A public hearing before the City Council scheduled upon notice on the
issue of rezoning the land in question was held on May 13,1986.
65.Mervin Dexter,914 Hill,stated that he would have liked to see the
landscaping of the project in Longview in order to get some idea of what
the outside of this one might be like.He is opposed to the rezone.
66.Duane Leitzke,1215 Evergreen,wanted to know how many R-3 areas in the
city have R-l right next to them.He felt that most R-3 areas abut on an
R-2 zone.He felt there is enough R-3 zones in the city without changing
this property to R-3.
67.Bruce Holloway,1121 Evergreen,stated that he is opposed to the zone
change and the nursing home itself.
68.Ray Grove,1019 Evergreen,stated he had no objection to a nursing home
but was opposed to the R-3 zone.
69.Earl Browning,607 Village,pastor of the Church of the Nazarene,stated
that they considered building on this property.He stated that the area
is a trash collector.He felt that another nursing home is needed in
Moses Lake and felt this would be an ideal spot.He pointed out that a
church,which is allowed under current zoning,would generate more traf
fic than a nursing home.
70.Bill Anderson,1120 E.Hill,stated that he is in agreement with the com
ments from Mr.Leitzke and wanted to know what the outside of the build
ing would look like.He also pointed out that the children in the area
use the lot to get to and from different points in the neighborhood.
71.Edie Cole,1011 Evergreen,stated that she is not opposed to a convales
cent center but is opposed to an R-3 zone in the area.
72.Nicki Penrose,1111 Evergreen stated that she is opposed to the R-3 zone
and the convalescent center.She felt it would increase traffic and
would affect property values.
73.Sandy Sumner,1118 Hill,stated that she is opposed to the nursing home
and an R-3 zone in this area.She felt it would lower the property
values.
74.Geraldine Warner,910 E.Hill,stated that she is opposed to the R-3 zone
as she felt it would lower the property value,would increase traffic,
and felt this would bring as many problems as a trailer court would.
75.Carrie Richins,1119 Evergreen,stated she is opposed to the R-3 zoning.
76.Elsie Harper stated that she lives across the street from this proposed
project and is opposed to it.
77.Mabel Lewellyn,stated that her house was the first one on Hill Street
and is definitely opposed to the project and the rezone.
78.Dorothy Zeigan,932 E.Hill,stated that there are other areas more
suitable to a convalescent center than a residential area and is opposed
to it.
79.Karen Hiatt,907 Cherry,stated that she was opposed to the zone change.
80.Roy Lewellen,1104 Dahlia,stated that he is opposed to the zone change.
81.Max Menti,1015 Evergreen,wanted to know how many floors would be
involved.
82.John Thorn,834 Evergreen,stated he would like to see it stay the way it
is and is opposed to the project.
83.Mr.Rimple pointed out that the area in question is zoned R-2.
84.Mr.Erwin stated that the city approves the site plan for the project
including approving the landscaping.He did not feel the property values
would go down but that they could increase because of this project.He
stated that Moses Lake is the community that is growing in the Columbia
Basin and is the medical hub of the area.
85.Mr.Rimple stated that letters were received from Frances Morgan,907
Evergreen and Vern Logg,1103 Evergreen opposing the project and a tele
phone call was received from Richard Penrose who is opposed to the zone
change.
86.Mr.Edwards wanted to know how high the structure would be.
87.Mr.Erwin stated it is a single story,consists of 35,000 square feet,
and would be of wood construction.
88.Mr.Chandler felt that some of the outright permitted uses or conditional
uses in the R-2 zone would create a lot more traffic than a convalescent
center.He also felt the project would increase the property values.
89.Mr.Biallas felt that some of the concerns and fears of the residents are
overstated but that the wishes of the majority should be considered.
90.Mr.Rimple wanted to know if Evergreen is a half width street.
91.Mr.Erwin stated that Evergreen is a paved half width street on the east
side in the front of this property.
92.Mr.Edwards pointed out that the residents seem to be under the impres
sion the property is zoned R-l and it is zoned R-2.He pointed out that
some uses in the R-2 zone could be a lot less attractive than the pro
posed nursing home.He stated that he is in favor of the convalescent
home but would abide by the wishes of the residents.
93.Mr.Biallas stated there is a need for a convalescent center in Moses
Lake but felt there may be a better place for it close to the hospital.
94.Mr.Edwards moved that the public hearing be closed,seconded by Mr.
Chandler,and passed unanimously.
CONCLUSIONS
1.The City Council of the City of Moses Lake is vested with the authority
and has the jurisdiction under the law to entertain and grant a request
to rezone land within the city's corporate limits if the criterion re
quired by law is met.
2.There appears,after the public meeting before the City Council on the
issue of rezoning Tax #6570,considerable opposition to rezoning the said
land of approximately 3 acres from R-2,Single Family and Two Family
Residential,and R-l,Single Family Residential,to R-3,Multi-family
Residential.
3.Since the City of Moses Lake is cognizant of the need to serve the wel
fare and best interests of the entire community,the City Council of the
City of Moses Lake believes that rezoning Tax #6570 from R-2,Single Fam
ily and Two Family Residential,and R-l,Single Family Residential,to R-
3,Multi-family Residential,would not serve the best interests of the
residents of the City of Moses Lake and would not bear a substantial
relationship to the public welfare of the entire community.
DECISION
1.The zone change requested for approximately 3 acres of land known as Tax
#6570 which is legally described in the herein Findings of Fact and which
is presently zoned R-2,Single Family and Two Family Duplex,and R-l,
Single Family Residential,is hereby denied.
