IN THE MATTER OF THE REZONE REQUEST
BY RAYMOND WALKER
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS,
AND DECISION
This matter,having come on before the Moses Lake City Council for action on
January 13,1987 now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1.Raymond Walker owns Lot 45,Terminal Park Addition,located at 1363 W.
Lakeside Drive.
2.The property is presently zoned R-2,Single Family and Two Family Duplex,
and the owners are requesting that it be changed to R-3,Multi-family.
3.The area is platted and served with city sanitary sewer and water.
4.At their meeting on December 11,1986 the Planning Commission declared
this zone change to have a non-significant adverse impact on the
environment.
5.Mr.Pray stated he would excuse himself from voting on this matter but if
no one objected would sit in the audience to answer questions since he is
familiar with the project.
6.A public hearing before the Planning Commission scheduled upon notice on
the issue of rezoning the land in question was held on December 11,1986.
7.Gail Brown,1345 Lakeside,wanted to know if the zone change would be for
Lot 45 only.
8.Mr.Collier stated that it would be.
9.Raymond Walker,proponent,stated that the reason for the zone change is
because they wish to sell the house and the buyers cannot get financing
unless the zone is changed to conform to the use.
10.Mr.Bernd wanted to know if it could be permitted as a conditional use in
the R-2 Zone.
11.Mr.Pray stated that the possibility was looked into but it is contrary
to what the Planning Commission has done in the past and the adjacent
land is zoned R-3.The current area zoned R-2 is a mix of single family
and duplexes.This particular home has been used as a tri-plex for many
years.
12.Mr.Walker stated that they have a large basement which was rented out
when their children left home.He stated that the apartment built behind
the garage was for his wife's mother and when she passed away that was
also rented out.The apartment was rented about 1970 and the basement
about 1975.
13.The City Council considered the zone change request at their meeting on
January 13,1987
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 the land owned by Ralph Walker,no opposition to rezon
ing the said land from R-l to R-3.
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 the land owned by Ralph Walker
from R-l,Single Family Residential,to R-3,Multi-family Residential,
would 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 Lot 45,Terminal Park Addition,owned by
Ralph Walker,which is legally described in the herein Findings of Fact
and which is presently zoned R-l,is hereby granted.

8.
9.
At their meeting on April 25,1985 the Planning Commission approved a
conditional use permit for the construction and operation of the proposed
park.
David Downing of Boundary Engineering,representing the project,stated
that they have received a copy of the City Engineer's comments and are in
agreement with the conditions.They are asking that Laguna Drive im
provements be delayed until an LID is formed.Improvements are usually
made when traffic increases and this project will not increase the traf
fic on Laguna.Sage Road is requested to be vacated in the interior of
the binding site plan.
Gray Ekstedt of Boundary Engineering stated that the buffer between Lagu
na Drive and the park has been designed to include a wall made of wood
with stone or masonry pillars eyery 20'with evergreen pyramidal arborvi-
tae,juniper shrubs,and some other shrubs in front of it to provide
screening.The berm will be covered with Kentucky bluegrass and other
grasses and a sprinkler system will be installed.
Mr.Bernd stated that he liked the proposal as presented and wanted to
know how long the fence would be.
Mr.Ekstedt stated that it would be 560'along Laguna Drive and at the
end of the property would make an approximate 90°turn for about 40'un
til it meets the berm on the lagoon side.
10.A letter from Floyd and Gloria Swenson,residents of Laguna Drive,was
read which requested the Planning Commission delay approval of the proj
ect until a completed site plan could be considered by the Laguna
residents.
11.Mr.Angell stated that he received a call from Clyde Owen who was also
concerned about the berm and wall and requested that no action be taken
by the Planning Commission until the Laguna residents have a chance to
review it.
12.A public hearing scheduled upon notice before the Planning Commission on
the issue of the binding site plan was held on December 11,1986.
13.Larry Petersen wanted to know if landscaping would be provided on the
berm on the lagoon side of the project and if it would be high enough to
obscure the project from the view of the residents in the Laguna Drive
area.
14.Mr.Ekstedt stated that the project is partially screened by the area of
undeveloped property between it and the Laguna residents.The Laguna
area is about 1/2 mile from the project and the berm is at 1060*eleva
tion while the interior of the park is at 1055'elevation.The berm will
be planted with native grasses.
15. Mr.Pedersen wanted to know how far from the road the fence would be
built.
16.Mr.Ekstedt stated that it is difficult to say for sure since the road is
not constructed the complete width of the right-of-way but the fence
should be about 27.5'from the existing street.
17.There was some discussion by the Commission on the elevations of the
project and it was the consensus that the project is designed to the
elevations requested by the Commission.
18.Mr.Brown felt that more than just native grasses should be planted on
the berm along the lagoon.
19.Mr.Bernd wanted to know if people would be discouraged from using the
area of the berm as a beach.
20.Dick Stuhr,one of the proponents of the project,stated that the area is
not conducive to a beach since there is quite a steep slope but there is
about 1,000'of beach area in the existing park.There is a trail that
is used by fishermen to reach the lagoon and that will remain.
21.Mr.Collier stated that he would like to see additional planting on the
berm.
22.Mr.Downing stated that additional planting on the berm would not create
a problem.He also asked that the landscaping plan be included as part
of the binding site plan approval.He also requested that if the binding
site plan is accepted,that the proposed fence and landscaping plan be
made a part of the site plan.
23.Mr.Brown stated that when the Corning development went in there was some
discussion about redesigning Laguna Drive.
24.Rita Perstac,Municipal Services Director,stated that nothing has been
done on Laguna because there is no city sewer there beyond the bridge.
Sewer is parallel to Laguna for the length of this binding site plan but
that the street would probably not be improved until sewer is put in the
rest of the way.
25.The Planning Commission recommended to Council that the Binding Site Plan
along with the fence and landscaping plan as presented by the developers
at this meeting be approved with the stipulation that additional planting
be placed on the berm on the lagoon side of the project and the comments
from staff be addressed.
26.The Planning Commission also recommended to Council that the variance for
street,sewer,and utility improvements on Laguna Drive be granted with
the stipulation that a covenant run with the land for those improvements
when an LID is formed.
27.On December 23,1986 the City Council set January 13,1987 as the date to
consider this preliminary plat.
28.On January 13,1987 the City Council considered the Sunrise Resorts Bind
ings Site Plan.
29.Gary Ekstedt of Boundary Engineering showed the Council the conceptual
drawing of the sight obscuring fence required along Laguna Drive.He
stated that additional greenery will be planted on the berm along the
lagoon as was requested by the Planning Commission.
30.Clyde Owen,resident of Laguna Drive,stated that only one of the Laguna
Drive residents was able to be at the Planning Commission meeting when
the landscape plan was approved.He stated that many of the residents
are out of town on vacation and will not be back until the first of
February and he requested that a decision by the City Council be delayed
30 days so that the residents could meet with the developers on the land
scape plan.He felt that placing the gatehouse near the Laguna Drive
intersection could cause a back up of people wanting to get into the
park.He wanted to know if there would be access to the lagoon from the
development as people may locate their boats in the lagoon and just hike
down through the berm to them.He also wanted to know if a bond could be
required to guarantee the performance of the proposed improvements.
31.Mr.Chandler wanted to know when construction would start on this
project.
32.Dave Downing of Boundary Engineering stated that the approval period for
the conditional use permit runs out in January and if that happens before
the binding site plan is approved,the developers would have to start the
project over from scratch.He stated that no commitment was made to the
Laguna residents to have a meeting.He pointed out that the elevation
requirements have been met and the fence and landscaping have been pro
fessionally designed.
33.Mr.Rimple felt that the developers have expended a great deal of effort
to appease the neighborhood and the city.
34.Mr.Owen wanted to know if a performance bond would be required for the
project.
35.Jim Whitaker,City Attorney,stated that under the binding site plan reg
ulations the site could be occupied when all required improvements are
completed.He pointed out that a performance bond is not required under
the ordinance.
36.Jerry Hudson,Laguna Drive,stated that there are people who swim and
fish in the lagoon and he was concerned about the boat traffic.He
stated that if the guardhouse is placed at the intersection of Laguna and
Sage there could be a problem with traffic.
37.Ms.Perstac stated that the developers have no plans to open up the
lagoon to the residents of the park.
38.Mr.Edwards wanted to know if staff has considered the possible traffic
problem if the guardhouse is placed at the intersection of Sage Road and
Laguna Drive.
39.Ms.Perstac stated that the vacation question is another issue but has
been discussed by the staff and the City Engineer has not indicated any
concern about the traffic.
40.Mr.Biallas felt that the developers have attempted to meet the needs of
the residents and the requirements of the city.

within the city's corporate limits if the criterion required by law is

2.There appears after the public meeting before the City Council on the
