PU1HJC HEARING -53DNE CHANGE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH -ORDINANCE NO.726 (second reading),/X
A latter was read from Stan Bech,Associate Planner,stating the Planning Commission at their regular meeting
on Bine 12,1975,held!a public hearing to consider a zone change request from the United Methodist Church.
The-church requestedto rezone Tax #4709,3949 and -.4711 from R-2 (Single Family Duplex)to R-3 (Multi-
Family zoning.The R-3 would enable the church to sell Tax #4709 and 3949 to the Grant County Mental
Health District for the possible construction of a group home for the developmentally disabled and to hold
Tas #4711 for future apartment or nursing home development.
The residents of thearea voiced their opposition to extending the R-3 zone to Ironwood Drive.Therefore,
thff:Planning Commission decided not to rezone Tax #4711.
The Planning Commission recommended Council approval for rezonlng as follows:
That the area bordered by Lark Avenue,Juniper Drive,Terrace Avenue and Kiefer Drive be rezoned
from R-2 to R-3 (excluding the nursing home,which is presently zoned R-3).
This plan includes lax #4709 and 3949 as requested by the Methodist Church,and ties well with the
existing R-3 zoning..

comments from-the audience.There were none.He then asked if there were any written protests.There
were none.Mayor Eiibert then turned over the hearing to the City Council for their questions or comments.

ORDINANCE -AMENDING COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE -OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING (1st rdq.)
A letter was read from:Stan Bech,stating the Planning Commission,after considerable discussion at their /2/0 y
regular meetings on June 12 and 26th,voted to recommend to the City Council that the accompanying ordinance
amending the Off-Strest Parking and Loading Section of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance be given final
approval.With the mauy residential and commercial developments now being proposed for construction with
in Moses Lake,it is critical that this off-street parking and loading ordinance be passed.
Bob Kill Inquired if the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this,and Stan stated they did not;
ii-requires a public hearing by the City Council.
Otto Skaug commented that he thought grocery stores with 40,000 to 60,000 square feet requiring 5 per
thousand is sort of an astronomical figure on this.With the new K-Mart about 40,000,requiring 200
parking places for that much area.Each parking place would take up about 200 square feet,so you are
looking at 40,000 feet Just for parking.I think it ought to be assessed and re-evaluated.Norm Johnson
thought the property owner with a small piece of property would be hurt more;since there are some lots
downtown that would be pretty limited to build on.
Bob HlU alluded to wharfs.Gtt.**Skaug stated about K-Mart -and also there is Malmos or something in there,
and the^would need adctftioiral1.spaces,so when you add all those you are talking about an awful lot of
spr.ce for».parking.He Krelaiteafctfoe same thing for financial institutions for example Sea-First bank here,
seams like 5 is an awful tat ofspace for a bank the size of Sea-First.«

RESERVOIR NO.5 SITE SELECTION
Alettecrwas read from Piifrllc Works Director Jerry Fay requesting to negotiate for land and advertise for /J^/O
bids,feservoir Standpipe No.5,Contract No.75-07.Reservoir No.5 is a 1.8 million gallon standpipe
and is to be constructed East of the Lakeview Terrace area of the City.This standpipe must be located
on high-ground to provideincreased pressure and storage volume for Pressure Zone 4.The estimated cost
range £6r this portion of flie Reservoir No.5 project is $385,000 to $506,000.The total cost of the pro
ject issestimated at $587,.000 with 40 percent eligible for reimbursement from the Washington Future
Referndum #27 program.The reason for requesting permission to bid Reservoir #5 prior to site acquisition
is the time restraints required by the DSHS.Because of this requirement,we are working concurrently on
franchises,land acquisition and plans and specifications for transmission lines and reservoirs,when we
would/normally spread these items over a longer period of time.
Ron Baker,Assistant Ci'&Engineer,reported to City Council the results of his meeting with the BBCC
Board to discuss with them the possibility of purchasing Site #4 as instructed by the Council at the
meeting of July 1,1975.The Board was not opposed to selling the particular site,however,they did
wish some time to make individual inspections of that site,and requested I come back at the next meet
ing the first part of August.I advised them that the City is very much in need of a .site along this higher
elevation,and that we da face a time scheduling problem as far as construction.That wouH mean a delay
of approximately 3 weeks before we could get back to the Board of Trustees,however,wecould negotiate •
with the administrative slsiff and maybe come to an agreement.
Before making a decision*Ron Baker wanted to bring up some points overlooked at the last meeting
regarding the piece of property behing the Wonderbread Bakery.This piece of property is for sale,
and the objection at the last meeting was that a storage tank located here would provide obstruction
of view to residential property in that area.He worked up drawings with diagrams demonstrating the
respective view they might see of the proposed reservoir;looking at the total horizon of 180 degrees
from aay given point,onla 2 percent of that horizon view would be restricted by the water reservoir.
From Admiral Road or Hamilton Road there would be really minimum sight obstruction.He prepared two
scale drawings for the Council,to confirm his contention regarding the view obstruction,and for the
Council to possibly reconsider acquisition of Site #1 located behind the Bakery.
Bob Hill inquired as to th«difference in height between Site #1 arid Site #4.Ron Baker stated there
is abouti 5 feet difference with Site #4 being 5 feet higher.
Bob Hill!contended that if the Council goes back to Site #1, we would in essence have to have another
public hearing and ask these people back to hear their viewpoints.Also we would be breaking faith with
these people,since the Council decided on Site #4 at the public hearing oh July 1, 1975,since this site
was lea.at objectionable to-the residents in the area.Possibly we should stay with this site.
ftai BsTcSr contended the public hearing at the last meeting fulfilled the requirements the Council might
nave toward recognizing arguments pro and con.We were not really required to have a public hearing.
We asked for the public hearing to provide the opportunity of the residents in the area to pass information
onto theiCouncil regarding;the sites,
Jerry Fay added, the selection of a site in good faith would help us to go ahe.ad withthe projectto callforbids-.If negotiations foiTiroperty would fall through we would probablyhave to ask DSHS for an ex
tension offtlme.Otto Skaug .aided,but I think the intent of our action is the main thinking.
C$to Skaugiasked what the selling price was for Site.#l -Ron Baker stated $2500 per acre.The assessed
224Sw
eatyCbcmcfl Minutes:4 July 8,1975

valuation ofthat same property is $6800 per acre.Although thissite is only 6/10th ofanacre,with ,'Site #4 we could purchase a little,larger area and have that added 100 feet aroundthe reservoir against
future acquisition.
Hill moved to grant permission to call forbids and proceed with negotiations with Big Bend Community
College for Site #4. Second by Boyle. Motion carried.
REQUEST TO CALL FOR BIDS - GARDEN HEIGHTS STORM SEWER
Aletter was read from Jerry Fay stating the 1975 budget allocated $10,250 for preparation of plans,-specifications and construction of storm drains in the Garden Heights area.The project,consists of
the installation of an 8" storm drain line from Garden Drive to Division and will eliminate the drainage
problems currently existing inthatarea.The current estimate is between $13,000 and $16,000.He
requested.Council authorization to advertise for bids for this project.
Jerry Fay added this particularprojectwas the result of a bankrupt LID andin orderto sell the property
will have to do'somethlngwith the drainage problem.Thecost is more than we anticipated whenwepreparedthebudgetlast year.He added this is for storm drain only,part ofthat sewer lineis in,and would go right parallel with it.Also the increase overthe amount budgeted would most probably
come from Revenue Sharing funds.
Moved by Boyle to authorize advertising for bids.Secondby Moe. Motioncarried.
Otto Skaug Inquired about the re-appraisal of city owned property including property in this area;
whether we received it back yet from the Multiple Listing Bureau.
City ManagerChet Waggener stated we received re-appraisals two days ago and will have to go over
it in detail to be sure propertythe City Council asked to be removed from the for sale listing is not
included.They also felt an appraisal after the stormdrainage is completedin this area,that just inthis area the appraisal be held up. We anticipate bringingthe re-appraisal of the balance listed to
the next Council meeting and request approval to put them on the market for sale.
Question called.Motion carried.

REQUEST TO HOLD SALE AT MCCOSH PARK -T.O.P.S..y
A letter was submitted by Cecil Lee,Park &Recreation Director stating the T.O.P.S.WA#49 of
Moses Lake fxas made application to hold a rummage sale at McCosh Recreation Center on July 18,1975.
In accordancewith Ordinance No.701 f relating to City Park regulations,the sale of a product or service
in a public p;a*k must be authorized by City Council.
Mayor Ebbertcommented that would the City Council consider letting the staff work out with the Park
and Recreation Commission to take care of these admission charges.As it now stands we are going to
have to give permission for any ball game that comes along and wants to charge for it and some of them
and not going;to match up with the time we have Council meetings and they are not going to be able to
get permission.
Johnson - I thought we did that once?Mayor Ebbert -No,we werit back to everyone being approved.
Seems to me it would be very intelligent to let the Park &Recreation Commission handle these things,
and if there are any major problems then bring that to the Council.But for every ball game I don't see
jany sense in coming to the Council with it.
Boyle -Wasn't that an ordinance?We would have to change or repeal it then.Chet Waggener,con
curred that the ordinance was changed to have all requests for admission charges have approval by the
Council.It would take an ordinance amendment if you want to change it.Public Hearing and*all that.
Bob Hill -Why couldn't the Park &Recreation Commission come back with guidelines to recommend to
us ?Otto Skaug -isn't that the very thing they asked of us?•Bob Hill -we debated It and we thought
we should have some control over It,but maybe we should come back with guidelines because we are
getting more and more of these requests,particularly since Larson Ballfield has been so popular.
City Manager Waggener stated,that It seems to him the Council would want a long term concession
like seasonal,,to come to the Council &>rapproval,and the shorter or one-day type requests perhaps
you would nottwant to be concerned with.Wbuld that be a reasonable assumption upon which we could
base guideline?Nevertheless,it would still require an ordinance change.
Otto Skaug commented that he didn't think the Council should subrogate their authority and we should
give them the guidelines..They are In a-dilemma as to know what do you and I want.
Norm Johnson -We've done this once before,let's act ourselves.We have a city attorney,and have
him prepare thJls ordinance In that direction of the short-term they will handle.
Otto Skaug - I suggest the Mayor,Johnson and Swanson act as an interim executive committee and
report back to us at the next meeting,and put that in form of a motion,that they also submit suggested
guidelines,and also Include Cecil Lee on the committee.Second by Boyle.Motion carried.

CLAIM AGAINST THE CITY -EVERGREEN CONSTRUCTION
A "Notice of Claim for Damages"from Evergreen Excavating and Concrete Co.,Inc.which is
alleged to have arisen out of performance of Contract No.74-11,the Eastlake Sewer Project.This
claim was previously submitted and after a thorough review by the Engineering Division,it was
rejected with the exception of some items where additional work was authorized.After conferring
with the City Attorney,,it is his recommendation that the Council take no action on this claim.
Motion by Skaug to merely note .receipt of the claim in the minutes and proceed with other business.
Second by Hill.Motion carried.
CITIZEN INPUT
Jack Hatfield wanted to report on the Off-Street Parking Project.Several months ago the City Council
authorized the city staff to help with it,and ran down some property valuations and they came up with
some off-street parking proposed costs.That is where are now;we have to run down reports from the
merchants and figure out an equitable way to spread these costs over a parking district.We will pro
bably come to the Council with a petition of interest or something like that,and possibly encouraging
the Council to initiate some action that the Retail Trades Division doesn't have the machinery to,for
instance,contact all the property owners,etc.,and wanted the Council to be aware of that.
STATUS/INFORMATIONAL
a.City Manager
1.Relates to a pamphlet received about two weeks ago regarding the National Health Planning and Re
sources Development Act of 1974.Meetings are being held July 10th at Pasco,and July 15th at Spokane
.with other meetings schelduled on the coast..If any of the Council wish to attend you will want to note
those dates and locations.
y 2.We have had some continuing discussion with the County Prosecutor's Office,with Mr.Calbom,^\p City Attorney,Police Chief and myself regarding providing legal assistance available to help the Police
v Department.Mr.Calbom Is somewhat handicapped in being a one-man office in terms of always being
available to provide 'assistance to the Police Office.There are occasions in operating his private busi
ness when he is simply out of town and has no choice but to be unavailable.That has presented some
difficulty and in trying to work out a problem Mr.Calbom has indicated he would really like to be relieved
of the responsibilities for criminal court activities.I have contacted Mr.Pat Acres who is willing to accept
that responsibility and act in the capacity ofAssistant City Attorney.With Council's permission would like
to engage Pat Acres as such effective August 1,1975.There is money in the budget,it only requires a trans
fer in the budget.We are asking him not only to act specifically in criminal court activity,but as Assistant
City Attorney,because we anticipate some overlap,that when John is out of town we may want to ask Pat
to give some advice on civil matters,and John can assist Pat in some of the criminal matters and when Pat
is out of town.This will be of material assistance to the Police Department as well.
Basically my request is for authorization to go ahead and appoint the Assistant City Attorney and establish
that position and make an.appointment of Pat Acres to it.Also John Calbom recommended his salary be
reduced some and to the City Attorney position we will add $300.per month.In 1975 then we would have
five months at $300 totalling $1500 we would need to transfer for the Assistant position.
Motion by Skaug that Council approval be given.Second by Beyle.Motion carried,
